samba

I have a shared folder, using the following in smb.conf:

[public]
path = /shared
public = yes
onlyguest = yes
writable = yes
printable = no

However, when people try to access it, they are prompted for a password (I never set one). How can I give free access to this folder?

this might not help

i have a directory that i can get to without a password like this

[foo]
path=/home/files/foo
read only = no
writable = yes
printable = no
inherit permissions = yes
create mode = 0664

now i can't tell you what that all means or why yours doesn't work and mine does

perhaps the setting you need to change is in another part of smb.conf ??

here is another, i can map a drive from this on a winders pc, but i can't create a new file in it (probably because this winders pc doesn't have a valid login on the linux box, i think)

[netlogon]
path = /home/netlogon
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
browseable = no
share mode = no


if this isn't helping and you want me to stop, just say so

this is wierd

if i logout on the win95 pc, and logback in with a random name, like dude with no password, then i can map \\home\netlogon, but no write to it

if i login on the win95 pc as public, with no password, then it asks for the password and regardless of what i put in, i CAN"T map the drive

:confused:

i am not helping :o
