To me it is a problem. NFS works without password. I don't want passwords. I am not sharing this stuff on the Internet but on private network of personally owned computers. Windows 7 Pro does not have the ability to do NFS. I want to share my files to a WIndows 7 computer. I have to use SAMBA. I can't make it share files. I am not finding getting information on what to do easy or executing the actually doing things that allows me to share my files to that Windows 7 machine easy. Nothing has worked so far I keep getting prompted for a password that does not exist. In /etc/samba/smb.conf it say a commented file exist in /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf I am looking there now and I see no place to turn off username/ password. In YAST configuration for SAMBA I see no place to turn off username / password. In SWAT I see no place to turn off username / password. Even on the local machine if I try and browse SMB I am prompted for a username / password. So far nothing has worked. All I have gotten frustrated and was ridiculed in a IRC channel because I can't make it work. Like I said I checked the Wiki and the articles and openSUSE.org and didn't see anything relevant. You shouldn't need a book to make it work.You shouldn't need to be an IT pro or even an advanced hobbyist. Stuff should 'just work' as much as possible.
