I can not get guest access to work from Windows clients to a linux server. I am running 3.0.27a The windows clients are all in a domain and the linux server is not. I have set security = share and I always get: "The account is not authorized to log in from this station." I have tried setting different guest accounts ranging from nobody, a real user, and even a "Guest" account. I added all of them to smbpasswd and even tried with a tdbsam backend. I have tried log level of 3 and 10 and nothing really jumps out at me as any fatal error. I guess the question is can a Windows client in a domain access a linux server that is not in a domain without a password? smb.conf: [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = %h server (Samba %v) security = share encrypt passwords = Yes # passdb backend = tdbsam passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* . syslog = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 dns proxy = No ldap ssl = no panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d invalid users = root guest account = nobody log level = 10 [windows] path = /windows guest ok = Yes guest only = Yes -- Cader
