samba - Jul 2003 - New in Samba

Hi all,

I'm a new user and I would like to know if I it's possible to connect to
a share from a win98 machine without defining a user on that machine as 
described on the excelent book Using Samba. My win machines are shared 
among multiple users.

If it's possible what are the steps ?

Thanks in advance.

Francisco

You can have a guest share on the samba machine, as follows:

[global]
 guest account = ftp
 security = share

[public]
        comment = Public Stuff
        path = /some/public/place
        guest ok = yes


Just make sure you have a user ftp on the samba server.
