Hi all i basically cloned one samba fileserver onto another PC... copied the passwd, smbpasswd, smb.conf files over etc. Since i copied the smbpasswd file over to the new fileserver the samba connections using the "valid users" setting seems to work fine eg connections requiring passwords are fine.
The problem is with the non-passworded shares.... they now prompt for a password to connect. This is there setup in smb.conf : [share] comment = public shared directory path = /share writable = yes public = yes why would the above share now require a password to connect?? thanx
