The answer is found in the man page for smb.conf: ...shares are defined in Sections in smb.conf ..."Sections may be designated guest services, in which case no password is required to access them. A specified UNIX guest account is used to define access privilieges in this case." "Sections other than guest services will require a password to access them." There is a sample guest section in the default smb.conf, I believe. -- *************************************************************************** Jerry Winegarden OIT/Technical Support Duke University [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www-jerry.oit.duke.edu *************************************************************************** _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
