k, I've got Samba on two Linux boxes on the network. One Linux box is
using user-level security and passwords with smbpasswd to share home
directories. The Windows machine works with that one fine, no problems.
The other Linux box, however, is using share-level security, because all I
want is a single world-readable (no write permissions) share. The share
definition is as follows:
[myshare]
comment = This is my Samba attempt
path = /home/myshare
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
public = yes
writable = no
When I use "smbclient //mycomputer/myshare" from Linux box 1, I can access
the Samba share peachily with no problems at all--it works fine.
However, when I try accessing it from the Windows box on the same network,
I can see the computer, but no shares come up. It only shows "Printers"
and "Scheduled Tasks".
At the Windows command-line, 'nbtstat' says the computer is there, with
file-sharing available, but 'net view' says there are no shares.
Any idea what's up? or another way I can have public samba share without
fiddling with smbpasswd and the like?
Thanks in advance,
Ross
