samba - Dec 2004 - Samba-HOWTO-Collection/StandAloneServer.html#simplynice

Hi,
after installing samba i added the config mentioned above.

tux / # smbclient -L GANDALF
Connection to GANDALF failed
tux / # smbclient -L "myip"
Password:
Domain=[MIDEARTH] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.7]

        Sharename       Type      Comment
        ---------       ----      -------
Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED
Domain=[MIDEARTH] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.7]

        Server               Comment

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------

After reading smb.conf the option "passdb backend = guest" looks
wrong?
guest isnt listed as a possibility in the manpage.
Ive changed nothing in my passwd/smbpasswd file.
Why is it not working?

Regards
Julius

passdb backend tells samba where to find it's records.  You need to read
up on this.
