:Subject: Samba not showing public share et al.
:
:
:Server Box ():
:Pentium 3
:FreeBSD 5.3
:Samba 3.0.7
:connection to a windows 2000 LAN
:
:Samba on the freebsd side has the following smb.conf:
:
:----------------------------------------------------------------
:[global]
: workgroup = MYCO
:#
: server string = VicBSD
: load printers = no
: log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
: log level = 1
: max log size = 50
: security = user
: nt acl support = no
: null passwords = yes
: encrypt passwords = yes
: smb passwd file = /usr/local/private/smbpasswd
: wins server = 192.168.201.122 192.168.201.121
:
:[homes]
: read only=no
:[public]
:comment = %h Shared Public Directory
: path = /home/public
: force directory mode = 0777
: force create mode = 0777
: force group = nobody
: force user = nobody
: public = yes
: writeable = yes
: read only = no
: browseable = yes
:---------------------------------------------------------
:
:I gave /home/public permissions r,w,x for all the users and issued a 'smbpassword
:-a -n nobody'.
:
:With this configuration I can easily and reliably connect to my home share
:providing a password.
:
:BUT, I and other users are unable to connect from our Win2k or XP Pro boxes
:directly to the public share. As a matter of fact windows:
:
:1) Shows all the shares including an 'invented' nobody share not defined
:elsewhere. This happens while I put browseable=yes only in the [public]
:section of smb.conf and not in each share.
:2) If we ask to connect to \\vicbsd\public I'm prompted for a userid and
:password. Only giving the 'nobody' userid is possible to connect to the
:share from within windows boxes. I mean not directly without being prompted.
:
:Why is that 1) and 2) and what should I do to connect without being prompted
:for userid and password?
:
:
:Ciao
:Vittorio
