[Samba] force user = and guest ok = yes both set: samba 3.6.12 versus 3.6.13
Hello, when I set guest ok = yes and force user = some_user for a share and a client connects as guest, does samba switch to the user 'some_user' when it accesses the share's directory? To me it looks like samba did do this up to version 3.6.12 but does no longer with version 3.6.13: Instead 3.6.13 does switch to the guest user account - in my case to "nobody". Please can someone confirm that there was a change from 3.6.12 to 3.6.13 that introduced this new behavior - or am I wrong and something else did go wrong when I did update? I did read the release notes and tried to read the source, but couldn't come to a conclusion.
