5.1 samba public access problems
« on: March 13, 2002, 05:13:25 AM »
I'm trying to enable full public smb access to a particular ibay so that Win98 and ME clients that do not have accounts on the server can access this fileshare.

Based on my attempt at understanding smb.conf, I added

guest ok = yes
browsable = yes

to the ibay definition, resulting in:

[labshare]
comment = Lab File Share
path = /home/e-smith/files/ibays/labshare/files
read only = no
writable = yes
printable = no
inherit permissions = yes
create mode = 0777
guest ok = yes
browsable = yes

I then restarted smb, but still no luck.

I know, I know I need to do this with templates to make permament, but first I want to get it to work, then I can worry about making it permanent.

To fix this, do I need to set the guest ok = yes instead of its current setting of no?:

guest account = public
guest ok = no


Help!
