Hi, I'm not trying to do anything complex, just local network file sharing without authentication (windows clients) but I can't seem to get things working :?. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a user smbusers added locally and in smbpasswd.

/etc/samba/smb.conf
Code:
[global]
        server string = Brian is awesome
        guest account = smbshares
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 50
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        local master = No
        dns proxy = No

[storage]
        comment = Generic Storage
        path = /home/smbshares/storage
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes


/etc/samba/smbusers
Code:

root = administrator admin
nobody = pcguest smbguest
smbshares = guest


Everytime I open my host from a windows computer in the network neighborhood i'm prompted for a password. :( But if I sign on as smbshares user i can do as I wish.

Thanks much,

Brian

thanks! looks like it worked.

I think that samba web admin isn't the best for this...
