samba - Feb 2002 - Antwort: How do I setup a non passworded standard samba user that all windows users can access?

Hi Stuart,

take a look at the "map to guest" in the global section. If you set
this
to "Bad User", all connection with a invalid account (ie. no UNIX
account)
will be mapped to the "guest account" (also in the global section).
Next
step is to set the "create mask" to 666, the "directory
mask" to 777 and
the "force user" to your guest account in the share section.

[globals]
map to guest = Bad User
guest account = your_guest_account          (must be a valid account, 
without password [*], home path and login shell)

[you share]
force user =  your_guest_account
create mask = 0666
directory mask = 0777

Be prudent with the contents of the share! 

Regards, Thomas

Hi there,

What are the exact steps I take to create a samba user account that anyone
can get onto and write to even though they may not have a linux user
account.

For Example

john logs onto windows as 'john'
goes through the network to find the samba server. and creates a file 
(full
permissions).  john does not however have a linux user account.

Is this possible?

I have been told that setting up a generic samba user account that will 
work
for all who connect to the server.

I am not bothered about security.

thanks very much,
stu
