[Samba] Mess-Windows dumbness...
I changed the Samba security mode from share to user and added a couple of users to allow some writable shares. Now the MS-Windows machines are insisting on a username/password to access the *anonymous* (guest ok = yes) printers and the one read-only public file system. How do I fix this? Do I *have* to configure a real-live guest user? Is there a way to allow some file systems anonymous access *without* a username/pasword and some file system write access with a username/password? Or is mess-windows too stupid to handle this? -- Robert Heller -- Get the Deepwoods Software FireFox Toolbar!

I assume you have mapped guest to a valid user account on the Samba server? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

I switched the security mode back to share and mess-windows seems to be happy... -- Robert Heller -- Get the Deepwoods Software FireFox Toolbar!

I changed the security mode back to 'share' and this seems to have settled MS-Windows... -- Robert Heller -- Get the Deepwoods Software FireFox Toolbar!
