Hi, is there a way to anonymously connect a Windows client to a Samba PDC? I have some random clients which I currently don't want to add to the domain, but would still like them to have access to one share.
For example, I have: [skener] path = /var/spool/scanner/scans browseable = yes writable = yes force user = scanner force group = scanner guest ok = yes guest only = yes When I connect with smbclient (either from localhost or any other Linux host) this works: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# smbclient //fundus-srv/skener -N Anonymous login successful Domain=[FUNDUS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.2.3] smb: \> >From the logs: fundus-srv (::ffff:192.168.1.4) connect to service skener initially as user scanner (uid=1019, gid=516) (pid 1380) [2008/09/03 16:34:03, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(1401) However, if I connect from a Windows machine (which is not a domain member), this does not work as Windows/Samba insists on using the currently logged in user. This of course fails since these users do not exist in the domain: [2008/09/03 16:28:02, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(318) check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [richi] -> [richi] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER Is there a way to connect anonymously from Windows as well?
