I have seen that before and since it isn't documented in the smb.conf man page thought it was a bogus value. Turns out that it possibly is valid and potentially useful. Although the context I've seen it in is as a second value: "passdb backend = tdbsam guest", which use isn't quite clear. The Debian setups seem to add this value to the default smb.conf. This value should be documented and explained in the smb.conf man page. Chris

And you cannot remove it. it simply provides a guarantee that the guest account has a valid account entry. Setting 'passdb backend = smbpasswd' and adding no entryies is the same thing as what you suggest. It does not give you a guest server however. For that you need the 'map to guest' parameter. cheers, jerry ====================================================================Alleviating the pain of Windows(tm) ------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ----- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc "There's an anonymous coward in all of us." --anonymous -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDWQ5eIR7qMdg1EfYRAiYEAJwIaAbWh7CgUP6sqL5JkQcuNcCz9gCdFIwR HahTezOwbkEYQJeWwSs3Xts=ufAw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
