R: Guest user - different password

[Stefano Colombo]

Hi Giulio ,
	with guest user I meant a generic user which must have no password because
it should be used for all the users I didn't allow particular rights.

	I didn't find the "map to guest " parameter in any docs , even using samba,
so what's "bad user " stands for ? A real user or is a keyword ?

	The problem with my configuration is that the map is done correctly , any
user is mapped to the guest apsf , but since the passwords don't match the
connection is refused .

	However I 'll try your advice and keep you ( all ) informed .

If by "guest user" you mean the samba "guest user", then do it in
another way:

- don't do any manual mappings
- take out apsf from smbpasswd
- in smb.conf:

====
security = user
map to guest = bad user
guest account = apsf  (or another user)

[myshare]
path = /path/dir
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
====

make /path/dir readable by the apsf (or another user) user.

User which don't provide a good userid will be mapped to the guest user
and will be able to access the share.


If by "guest user" you mean something else then ignore what I've written
:)
