[Samba] Is there a way to allow empty user (NULL) to connect to samba3 as nobody/guest from W2K/XP workstations?
Hi, After switching to samba3 I've noticed that it doesn't allow connections with empty usernames with security = user anymore. Samba2 mapped empty user to nobody, is there a way to achieve such behavior? It is needed for compatibility - we still have lots of W2k workstations that allow passing empty usernames in login prompts (as opposed to XP). Adding null/NULL to smbusers file didn't help. Searching documentation & googing didn't give me an answer for this issue. -- Thanks in advance, Vlad Borisoff

Does anybody know how to map empty user logins to nobody user in samba3? -- Thanks in advance, Vlad Borisoff
