I am quite a newbie to samba, so please excuse if this is a trivail question,
but I cannot find the answer in the archives.
My problem is that I would like to completely kill null passwords. I have
tried all sorts of combinations in my smb.conf file, but the only thing that
seems to work reliably is to set the guest account to some bogus name. This
seems to me not the "correct" way to do this. Could someone pleas point tme
in the right direction? The global portion of my smb.conf file follows:
; Configuration file for smbd.
; ============================================================================
;
[global]
# Use encrypted passwords
encrypt passwords = yes
# Disallow NULL passwords
guest account = xxxxxx
null passwords = no
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = DOCUSERV
server string = Document Server
interfaces = 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.0.0/24
security = user
load printers = no
log level = 2
; This next option sets a separate log file for each client. Remove
; it if you want a combined log file.
log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
TIA
Dave.
