YaST -> Network services -> Samba-Server
It's a guided setup tour if you have not touched /etc/samba/smb.conf before.
The magic to allow guest = anonymous access is to set the share parameter "guest ok = Yes". By security reasons it defaults to No.
That is the Samba.org upstream default and we're not going to change this default in SUSE based products.
BTW there is already a prominent and very straight "Allow Guest Access" tick line in the share tab of the YaST Samba Server module. Click it and press the button labled "Ok" next.
If this doesn't work as explained file a bug report and report the ID back to this list.
This was already been done to get samba going.
What i did now was make it PDC, and set a root pw in the dialog. This password gets me into the shares.
Then you're doing something wrong. This part shows Samba in general is working.
The password set in: systemsettings > network & connectivity > sharing still does not. (I do not wish to share my root password with the rest of the family.)
This is not YaST nor is it Samba. At this place you enter the default username and password all KDE components use as soon as they try to communicate to a CIFS (formerly also the wording SMB(fs) was used) share, source, destination, storage. A KDE dude might know this much better.
The standard setting as you discribed, with NPDC set, but guest acces allowed, does not give access without password dialog..
Is this the situation 'bugzilla-worthy'?
Use YaST as described. You used the KDE systm settings dialog and that's something different. If it doesn't work with the help of the YaST Samba Server module please file a bug report against YaST.
