I am still pretty confused smb.conf but no password is required.
Confused about what specifically? "map to guest = Bad Password" means that any failed authentication attempt just gets connected as the guest user. "guest ok = yes" for the share means that the guest user has access to the share. The assumption is that : (a) "guest account = somebody" where "somebody" is a valid account. (b) the underlying filesystem permissions allow "somebody" access to the folder indicated by "path" in the share definition.
Bah, all files from /usr/share/samba/templates/ are empty. Bad. Else it wouild be easy to get a diff.
Eh?
"guest ok = Yes" for each share pretty much took care of the only issue that was stopping it from just working. I had already properly configured the other two changes needed in smb.conf. Well, it's very polite to keep these other two secret issues for you. ;) Look, others migth later run into the same trouble, find this thread and are faced by issues as well. But the lame dudes of the openSUSE lists kept this secret well hidden. Come on, make the others and all of us happy too!
I assume those other two changes where the two entries required in [globals]. A working config is - [global] security = user map to guest = Bad Password [share_definition] guest ok = yes - taken directly from the link previously posted to the project documentation. <https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions#guest_access> -- System & Network Administrator [ LPI & NCLA ] <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com> OpenGroupware Developer <http://www.opengroupware.us> Adam Tauno Williams -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
