Bonjour,
I would like to setup a minimal linux samba server on my private lan:
share the /tmp directory on the server, and share any printers plugged
to the server.
I would like that access to these two shares will be possible without
any password from any windows computer on the lan.
Up to now, I have some password problem which I don't understand: for
instance
smbclient -L localhost
asks me for a password, but if I press the enter key (without giving any
password) the answer is given. Why does samba ask for a password?
Same behaviour happens with rpcclient, ...
Here is what I added to my smb.conf file:
To share /tmp:
[tmp]
path = /tmp
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
To share a printer:
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
[HL-2030-series]
comment = Brother HL-2030 series
path = /var/spool/samba
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
printer name = HL-2030-series
share modes = No
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
It seems to not work without giving a password...
Last question: as far as I understand, the share print$ is to upload a
printer driver from a windows computer, is there a way to install these
drivers directly on the linux samba server, and where can I find windows
drivers to do this.
Thanks.
