[Samba] Setting up a guest share

Tue Feb 1 09:56:44 MST 2011

Can anyone assist with the following problem

I am trying to set up a share on a domain controlled by SAMBA that 
anyone can access, particularly if they are not part of the domain the 
machine Samba is running on is joined to or are in another domain.  I 
cannot access this share from a Windows 2008 R2 DC.  The samba share is 
as follows.

> [adreg]
>         comment = registration files
>         path=/test
>         browsable=no
>         public=no
>         writable=yes
>         create mask = 700
>         force create mode = 500
>         force group=rs
>         force user=rs
>         hosts allow = walthamstow.gold.ac.uk.
>         guest ok = yes
Machines that are part of the domain can attach to this and add and 
delete files as you would expect.

But machines that are not part of the domain cannot access this here are 
the logs from one attempt:
