Hello again,
I didn't receive any replies to my question yesterday, so here it is
again. I'm sure someone can help answer this easy question for me.
I'm trying to configure a public print share that doesn't require a
password to connect to on a MicroVAX/VMS system. This system will never
have login accounts for the individual users as all it really does is
serve up printers and plotters to our Win95 PCs and I don't much care
about who connects to this system and its shares.
Any variations to smb.conf I've tried always asks the users for a password
to make the connection.
Here's my config for one such share:
[datdj01]
comment = LIMS HP 1600 CM Deskjet Printer
path = /samba_root/var/spool
browseable = no
available = yes
guest account = samba_user
guest only = yes
public = yes
printer name = datdj01$print
printable = yes
writable = no
create mode = 0700
Could someone help point me in the right direction? Thanks for any
suggestions/solutions.
Dave Thompson
