Using samba-3.2.4, on Fedora 9.
I want to create a universally writeable, browseable share. If you're on
the network, you can use it. No passwords, any user.
Which I tried to do with this smb.conf, which doesn't work from Windows:
[global]
workgroup = NEW_NET
server string = asterisk server in closet
netbios name = Video_Server_in_Closet
bind interfaces only = yes
interfaces = lo 10.10.11.0/24
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
log level = 3
security = user
passdb backend = tdbsam
domain master = no
preferred master = no
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
[storage]
comment = Video-storage
path = /home/video/storage
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
guest ok = yes
From another linux box,
smbclient "\\<server>\storage"
asks for root's password, but just hitting enter gets me in.
OTOH, on windows ( vista) I get a request for user and password :(
I want to be able to just click on it in Windows and access it.
Is the problem it's in /home/video? move it to /opt??
Any help appreciated.
