I don't because I am subscribed there - it is hosted on eternal-september.org. The group is comp.sys.raspberry-pi It could be also another one somewhere else. I do not guarantee this is the only one. >> 2. The actual user plugging the external disk is paulf but disk mounts as >> default user pi > > Not true. The disk mounts automatically on startup.

I saw, but you never shared parts from the log file, hence we are looking in the crystal ball here. I mentioned I do not know about the guest permissions. I just remember that there was something regarding mapping unknown users to nobody etc. Who knows how it works in raspberry - they customize a lot there. Respectively when I use the Samba as domain controller here it works perfectly well including directories, printers and permissions. Unfortunately I can't help with the guest OK. If you share relevant portions from the log, somebody could come up with something more useful.
