[Samba] Guest access

[SerpentMage (Christian Gross)]

I have been trying to get guest access to a share. 

My smb.conf is as follows...

[global]
        workgroup = DEVSPACE
        encrypt passwords = yes

[test]
        comment = my first share
        path = /home/temp
        read only = no
        guest ok = yes
        browseable = yes
        public = yes
        guest account = nobody

Then on one windows station I execute net view pluto and it works 
because the user that does the net view has been added to the smb.conf file.

Then on another windows station I execute net view pluto and I get 
System error 5 has occured Access is denied because the user that is 
accessing the server is not known as a user on the network.  The user 
nobody has been added to the smb.conf file.  If I attempt to connect to 
the network share directly using net use x: \\pluto\test I get an error 
because it asks me for a user.

I looked at the documentation and have tweaked all the combinations of 
the setting guest ok to yes and no and to setting of public to yes and 
no.  Nothing seems to let the unknown user onto the machine.  Both 
Windows boxes are running W2K.

Thanks
