Hello, got a smb question. I used to run 2.0 and it worked fine. I had normal users and then a guest user with NULL PASSWD. I switched to 2.2 and I try to set up the same thing but I can't manage to get them both working simultaneously. I can have either one working just fine. I narrowed it down to encrypt passwords = (yes/no). I try to override the general user settings by a config file for my special guest user but it won't work. single smb.conf file used: smb.conf encrypt=yes encrypt=no user works doesnt guest doesnt works smb.conf and smb.conf.guest used: smb.conf encrypt=yes encrypt=no smb.conf.guest encrypt=yes encrypt=no encrypt=yes encrypt=no user works works doesnt doesnt guest doesnt doesnt works works It seems like the config file is not being read to override the values it is suppose to override. The user is named guest and the file smb.conf.guest There is no log messages. # cat smb.conf [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Samba %v on %L domain logons = yes security = user os level = 34 local master = yes preferred master = yes domain master = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY guest account = guest ; THE CONFIG FILE FOR USER GUEST: config file = /etc/smb.conf.%U ;ENCRYPTED PASSWORDS FOR NORMAL USERS encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd ; logon script = %U.bat [netlogon] comment = The domain logon service path = /etc/samba/logon public = no writeable = no browseable = no [share-drive1] path = /share-drive1 comment = Network Drive create mode = 644 writeable = yes guest ok = yes # cat smb.conf.guest [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Samba %v on %L domain logons = yes security = user os level = 34 local master = yes preferred master = yes domain master = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY guest account = guest ; THE CONFIG FILE FOR USER GUEST: ; config file = /etc/smb.conf.%U ;UNENCRYPTED PASSWORDS FOR guest USER encrypt passwords = no smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd ; logon script = %U.bat [netlogon] comment = The domain logon service path = /etc/samba/logon public = no writeable = no browseable = no [share-drive1] path = /share-drive1 comment = Network Drive create mode = 644 writeable = yes guest ok = yes -- Marcel Kunath *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Montie House Network Greater Lansing Linux Users Group http://www.montiehouse.com http://www.gllug.org *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
