I do not want to use domain logon.
My smb.conf:

[global]

workgroup = NERV

netbios name = MAGI

server string = Samba Server %v

printcap name = cups
load printers = yes

printing = cups

printer admin = @adm

log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

max log size = 50

hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.

map to guest = bad user

security = user

encrypt passwords = yes

socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

domain logons = no

dns proxy = no



#============================ Share Definitions ==============================
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
# to allow user 'guest account' to print.
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
create mode = 0700
# =====================================
# print command: see above for details.
# =====================================
print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r # using client side printer drivers.

[print$]
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browseable = yes
read only = yes
write list = @adm root
guest ok = yes



[public]
comment = public
path = /var/public
valid users = xxx
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no


Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Thank you!
