[Samba] Public share ask for a password

[amit kumar]

Hello,

Try this config

# vim  /etc/samba/smb.conf
  [global]
    workgroup = WORKGROUP
    security = user
    map to guest = Bad User
    passdb backend = tdbsam
[myshare]
    path = /share
    browsable = yes
    guest ok = yes
    read only = no
    create mask = 0755

# service smb restart

Thanks
Amit Kumar

There are three ways to get something done:
  (1) Do it yourself.
  (2) Hire someone to do it for you.
  (3) Forbid your kids to do it.
