Topic: iBay - throwing it wide open like in YES! Server (e-smith)

[chewter]

I used a YES! installation for 2 years which seems to be a customized version of SME. You can configure it so that an iBay is visible with read-write rights as a windows share to anyone on the windows work group (not a domain and all win2k).

If you add a new client machine and new user/change user name - it works without changing the server settings.

Therefore I know its possible - any clues how to do this?

After-thought.......

The Mandrake samba Wizard does it also.

Thought you said you had it going?

It works if the user is a valid user.

Yes! works if the user is not in the User List. With Yes! you can just add a new machine to the network with an unknown user and it works.

A guy in Chat said it can be done with a custom template.

Would that be guest access?  I vaguely remember reading something about that when searching for Samba updates.  As I recall, it did require some custom template editing, but wasn't hard.

I think the samba trick was to map all to guest and give guest full share access........

Somehow Linux doesn't care who connects - but I dont know how :-s

I get a curt access-denied meddage
