Bug#525874: [Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#525874: smb.conf.5: please mantion guest logins in the man page section on user validation
Quoting Michal Suchanek hramr...@centrum.cz (michal.sucha...@ruk.cuni.cz): Package: samba-common Version: 2:3.2.5-4lenny2 Severity: normal File: smb.conf.5 Hello There is a section on user validation in the smb.conf(5) man page. This ends with point 6: if the user supplies the guest user name the user is validated regardless of password. However, for setting up guest shares that are reasonably usable it is required that user names are mapped to the guest account. Specifically, the security should be set to share or guest map to Invalid User. Sorry, I don't get your point. smb.conf: [global] workgroup = TEST security = user [public] browseable=yes comment=Public guest ok = yes path=/var/tmp/samba-test r...@mykerinos:~# smbclient -N //localhost/public Anonymous login successful Domain=[TEST] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.3.4] smb: \ dir .

However, for setting up guest shares that are reasonably usable it is required that user names are mapped to the guest account. Uh? Please be more explicit. (at least specifying this is about the ABOUT USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION section rather than there is a section blahblah) Specifically, the security should be set to share or guest map to Invalid User. Uh, again. I have absolutely no idea of what improvement you are suggesting. Please provide a patch as a basis for discussion. Without such information I see no way of even try talking with upstream about this. I of course wonder why you're taking us as a proxy for talking about something that obviously needs a discussion with them. We are very opened for this, but we don't want to have to do all the work, including first understanding what you're talking about. Tagging the bug appropriately wrt the current level of information we have. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
