I can not get guest access to work from Windows clients to a linux server.
I am running 3.0.27a
The windows clients are all in a domain and the linux server is not.
I have set security = share and I always get:
"The account is not authorized to log in from this station."
I have tried setting different guest accounts ranging from nobody, a
real user, and even a "Guest" account.
I added all of them to smbpasswd and even tried with a tdbsam backend.
I have tried log level of 3 and 10 and nothing really jumps out at me
as any fatal error.
I guess the question is can a Windows client in a domain access a
linux server that is not in a domain without a password?
smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = %h server (Samba %v)
security = share
encrypt passwords = Yes
# passdb backend = tdbsam
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully*
.
syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
dns proxy = No
ldap ssl = no
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
invalid users = root
guest account = nobody
log level = 10
[windows]
path = /windows
guest ok = Yes
guest only = Yes
