[Samba] samba4 anonymous read-only access to a server share
I suspect, based on the conversation about this back in May 2013 in the thread titled "\"map to guest = bad user\" ignored in Samba 4?", that this is still an issue? What I'm trying to do is setup a samba4 file server with the following options in the [global] area of smb.conf: [global] ... server role = active directory domain controller map to guest = bad user guest account = samba_guest [software] path = /mnt/smb/software read only = no hide files = /lost+found/ guest ok = yes However, it is still prompting me for authentication when I try and access the server from a non-domain machine. The expected behavior would be that it maps me to the guest account ("map to guest = bad user") and then lets me browse the [software] share as a guest user. We're running 4.0.6. Looking at the release notes for 4.0.7 I don't see anything with "guest" in the notes.
