I have Samba 3.6.25-45 running with the following configuration. The read-only
share should be available to the public without any username/password
authentication. The Samba server will not be added to a domain. Client
machines might or might not be part of a domain.
If "server signing = disabled", clients can connect to the [test]
share. If "server signing = enabled" or "server signing =
mandatory" the client can no longer connect. In Windows, they get error
"The specified name is no longer available". The machine log has an
entry of "auth/auth.c:319(check_ntlm_password) check_ntlm_password:
Authentication for user [userX] -> [userX] FAILED with error
NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER".
I tried to overcome this with "nobody = *" in smbusers file but this
forces a user/pass login prompt which is not desired.
