Hi,
I am really trying to get the easiest samba setup working without any luck.
I just want to create a share anyone can access without username/password.
[root@redhat-test ~]# testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[guest]"

passdb backend = tdbsam
local master = No
wins server = 10.130.12.120
idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
cups options = raw
[homes]

read only = No

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[guest]
comment = Shared Folder for guests
path = /home/Guest/share
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
My shared folder is there
[root@redhat-test ~]# ls -ail /home/Guest/
6520842 drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody root 4096 Jul 25 16:23 share
But i get this in the logs when i try to access it:
[2008/07/25 17:23:43, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1003)
'/home/Guest/share' does not exist or permission denied when
connecting to

iptables is off, selinux is off.

It works from version 3.0.20 to 3.0.28 (i haven't upgraded to 3.0.30 yet) Linux and Win XP Pro clients can connect with no authentication of any kind. XP Home should work too since this setup does not create a domain controller. Hope it works for you. Mike

Check, if user "nobody" has at least read access to /home/Guest. If not, then it must be the reason, why you get an access denied error message (you cannot access a child directory, if you don't have at least read access to the parent directory). Chown the directory /home/Guest as "nobody:root" or give read permission to other users (chmod o+r /home/Guest). Regards Gergely Kiss
Well i did my smb.conf as simple as you showned.
[root@amsdev-dv09 ~]# testparm

The top root folder has been created with the following rights (applied to
subfodlers too):
drwxrwxrwx 4 nobody root
And i still get errors trying to connect:

No improvement with the IP address. Error states in smb.log getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected. 2008/7/28 John Drescher <drescherjm@gmail.com>> > >From Windows the error is: share is not accessible.
