Hey guys,
I just have one really quick question.
In samba is there a way to get samba to not prompt for a username and password when login to the server from a windows machine??
Thanks for the help. |

two ways,
first off you can use the same username and password for your windows account that you are using for your samba and unix accounts. This will then be passed through when you browse the share.
Enable guest access you need
guest user = <a valid samba user>
in the [global] section and either
public = yes
or
guest ok = yes
in the share section. Then make sure the guest user has a corresponding unix user and that that user has permissions in the shares. |

Mapping windows users to linux user may help you to avoid having all tha same name:
Example. cat /etc/samba/smbusers
| Code: |
root = administrator admin Administrador administrador
nobody = guest pcguest smbguest
linux_user1 = windows_user1
linux_user2 = windows_user2
...
|
Where i work we map Administrador (spanish word for Administrator) to root so the Administrator domain controller has full privileges to the linux-machine also.
