samba - Nov 2001 - Why do I see share "NOBODY" in list of shares on the server?

Hi all,

I dunno what I've done wrong, but since I upgraded my Samba 2.2.1a to 
2.2.2 (Mandrake 8.0) I can see share called "nobody" in the list of 
shares on the server. Even I can't open it ( it asks for the password - 
I used guest, my login, root no success )  I can't seem to understand 
it. I have no share with this name in the smb.conf so I don't know what 
does it mean.
It has the same comment as my "home directories".

Anyone seen this?
thanks

Dezider.

maybe you have %U in the home directories (smb.conf) and samba think that a
nobody connection has established and "created" the share on the fly
when
the users logs??

What this probably means is that you are getting authenticated as the
'guest' user
when you attach to your samba server, which is nobody.  And it is showing a
'home'
share for that user...
Try conecting to samba, then using smbstatus to see what unix user you are
actually
attached as from that machine...
