hi!
I have configured samba with different shares, of which one is accessible for guest from client windows.
the output of testparm:
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[install]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[print$]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
[global]
workgroup = NETZWERK
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS)
obey pam restrictions = Yes
passdb backend = tdbsam
pam password change = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
unix password sync = Yes
syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
unix extensions = No
dns proxy = No
usershare allow guests = Yes
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
invalid users = root
the share is defined like this:
[install]
comment = Unattended 4.8
path = /mnt/iso/unattended-4.8/install
guest ok = Yes
locking = No
when I execute the command on the client machine
user@client:~$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=guest //<ip-samba-server>/install /mnt/share/
the following error is returned
mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
in the global section of smb.conf I've also defined
guest account = nouser
unix extensions = no
I'm wondering why this is not displayed in the output of testparm?
the samba server is running on ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
there's no guest user account defined.
instead the user "nouser" and the group "nogroup" exist.
therefore I cannot passwd -a guest, this will fail.
question:
what do I have to configure in smb.conf in order to allow guest access from a windows client?
how do I define a password for this user "guest"? or is no password required?
THX
if I execute command
user@client:~$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=<sambauser> //<ip-samba-server>/install /mnt/share/
everthing works after entering the password.
