Add this to /etc/smb.conf (or /etc/samba/smb.conf in SuSE 8.0 and later): [mypublic] path = /home/public read only = no guest ok = yes browseable = yes public = yes Make sure that directory exist and has correct permissions. Restart samba.
All done. Still no luck "finding this machine over WINDOWS network". Actually yesterday it worked fine. People could see the machine, find the folder and map a network drive to it. Today :-( My file looks like [public] guest ok = yes path = /backup/public read only = no browseable = yes public = yes ... and following are other entries.. which are largely defaults from SuSE 8.0's stock configuration file. [global] workgroup = TLSI os level = 2 security = user encrypt passwords = Yes guest account = Nobody map to guest = Bad User log level = 3 printing = LPRNG printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = Yes socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY local master = No interfaces = 10.3.1.127/255.255.240.0 wins support = No character set = ISO8859-15 client code page = 850 veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/ [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No create mask = 0640 directory mask = 0750 browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/tmp create mask = 0600 printable = Yes browseable = No ... followed by my entry that I quoted at the top. Problems : 1. Machine is not visible on Windows network. 2. When I try to map \\10.3.1.127\public to a drive, it asks for password. It should not. public = full r/w access drive to all. -- Rohit +9122 5692 2101 D2,floor-3,Chandivali : SDE : TLSI : 9821394599@bplmobile.com The information below is compulsorily added for non-mahindrabt recepients. ********************************************************* Disclaimer This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and is protected by law.
