Topic: Yet another guest / unauthenticated / ibay / samba share question

[ntblade]

Hi all,
I'm trying to create an ibay / share that can be accessed by unauthenticated windows users.  First I created an ibay:

Code: [Select]

Information bay name    music
Description    Shared Music
Group    Family
User access via file sharing or user ftp    Write=group, Read=everyone
Public access via web or anonymous ftp    Local network (no password required)
Execution of dynamic content (CGI, PHP, SSI)    Disabled

I also created 3 custom templates:

11guestOk

Code: [Select]

{
# If this parameter is 'yes' for a service, then no password is
# required to connect to the service.
}
91media

Code: [Select]

[media]
comment = Shared Media
guest ok = yes
security = share
path = /home/e-smith/files/ibays/music/files
read only = yes
writable = no
printable = no

92myshare

Code: [Select]

{
# This is my share
$OUT .= <<HERE;
[Myshare]
path = /home/test
writeable = yes
browseable = no
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
HERE

Here's my smb.conf for for the ibay / shares (guest ok = yes in the global section)

Code: [Select]



[music]
comment = Shared music
path = /home/e-smith/files/ibays/music
read only = no
writable = yes
printable = no
inherit permissions = yes
create mode = 0664

[media]
comment = Shared Media
guest ok = yes
security = share
path = /home/e-smith/files/ibays/music/files
read only = yes
writable = no
printable = no

[Myshare]
path = /home/test
writeable = yes
browseable = no
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700

I'm still prompted for a username / password.  Can anyone see anything problems?
What have I done wrong?

Many thanks,

Norrie

When prompted for username and password, can you login with 'Guest' and no password?

Have you restarted the workstation after making those changes to the server ?
Same applies to any other workstation you are using to access the server, log off and back on again.
