[luau] Samba problems

[Rodney]

I have a fresh installation of SUSE 8.2 on a machine and I am having problems getting a windows machine to "explore" the public directory on the linux machine. From windows, I can see the machine, but as soon as I click on it to browse, I get a window asking for a username and password. I have not set-up anything like that in samba, I want to be able to view the public directories as a guest (w/ read & write access) and not have to log on or anything like that. Can anyone give me any clues as to where I can check/edit my smb.conf file? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Here is my smb.conf file settings:


#======================= Global Settings =====================================
[global]

##
## Basic Server Settings
##

	# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: REDHAT4
	workgroup = RMAIA

	# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
	server string = Photolibrary

	# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
	# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
	# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
	# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
	# the smb.conf man page
	; hosts allow = 10.1.1. 127.0.0.1

	# Uncomment this if you want a guest account, you must add this to /etc/passwd
	# otherwise the user "nobody" is used
	; guest account = nobody

	# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
	# that connects
	log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m

	# How much information do you want to see in the logs?
	# default is only to log critical messages
	; log level = 1

	# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
	max log size = 50

	# Security mode. Most people will want user level security. See
	# security_level.txt for details.
	; security = user

	# Using the following line enables you to customise your configuration
	# on a per machine basis. The %m gets replaced with the netbios name
	# of the machine that is connecting.
	# Note: Consider carefully the location in the configuration file of
	#       this line.  The included file is read at that point.
	;   include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%m

	# Most people will find that this option gives better performance.
	# See speed.txt and the manual pages for details
	# You may want to add the following on a Linux system:
	#         SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
	; socket options = TCP_NODELAY

	# Configure Samba to use multiple interfaces
	# If you have multiple network interfaces and want to limit smbd will
	# use, list the ones desired here.  Otherwise smbd & nmbd will bind to all
	# active interfaces on the system.  See the man page for details.
	;   interfaces = 192.168.12.2/24 192.168.13.2/24

	# Should smbd report that it has MS-DFS Capabilities? Only available
	# if --with-msdfs was passed to ./configure
	; host msdfs = yes

##
## Network Browsing
##
	# set local master to no if you don't want Samba to become a master
	# browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules apply
	local master = no

	# OS Level determines the precedence of this server in master browser
	# elections. The default value (20) should be reasonable
	; os level = 20

	# Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This
	# allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this
	# if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this job
	; domain master = yes

	# Preferred Master causes Samba to force a local browser election on startup
	# and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election
	; preferred master = yes


##
## WINS & Name Resolution
##
	# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
	# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable it's WINS Server
	; wins support = yes

	# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
	#	Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
	; wins server = w.x.y.z

	# WINS Proxy - Tells Samba to answer name resolution queries on
	# behalf of a non WINS capable client, for this to work there must be
	# at least one	WINS Server on the network. The default is NO.
	; wins proxy = yes

	# DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names
	# via DNS nslookups.
	dns proxy = no


##
## Passwords & Authentication
##
	# Use password server option only with security = server
	# The argument list may include:
	#   password server = My_PDC_Name [My_BDC_Name] [My_Next_BDC_Name]
	# or to auto-locate the domain controller/s
	;   password server = *
	;   password server = <NT-Server-Name>

	# You may wish to use password encryption. Please read
	# ENCRYPTION.txt, Win95.txt and WinNT.txt in the Samba documentation.
	# Do not enable this option unless you have read those documents
	;  encrypt passwords = yes

	# Should smbd obey the session and account lines in /etc/pam.d/samba ?
	# only available if --with-pam was used at compile time
	; obey pam restrictions = yes

	# When using encrypted passwords, Samba can synchronize the local
	# UNIX password as well.  You will also need the "passwd chat" parameters
	; unix password sync = yes

	# how should smbd talk to the local system when changing a UNIX
	# password?  See smb.conf(5) for details
	; passwd chat = <custom chat string>

	# This is only available if you compiled Samba to include --with-pam
	# Use PAM for changing the password
	; pam password change = yes

##
## Domain Control
##
	# Enable this if you want Samba act as a domain controller.
	# make sure you have read the Samba-PDC-HOWTO included in the documentation
	# before enabling this parameter
	;   domain logons = yes

	# if you enable domain logons then you may want a per-machine or
	# per user logon script
	# run a specific logon batch file per workstation (machine)
	; logon script = %m.bat
	# run a specific logon batch file per username
	; logon script = %U.bat

	# Where to store roving profiles (only for Win95 and WinNT)
	#        %L substitutes for this servers netbios name, %U is username
	#        You must uncomment the [Profiles] share below
	; logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U

	# UNC path specifying the network location of the user's home directory
	# only used when acting as a DC for WinNT/2k/XP.  Ignored by Win9x clients
	; logon home = \\%L\%U

	# What drive should the "logon home" be mounted at upon login ?
	# only used when acting as a DC for WinNT/2k/XP.  Ignored by Win9x clients
	; logon drive = H:

##
## Printing
##

	# If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
	# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
	load printers = yes

	# you may wish to override the location of the printcap file
	; printcap name = /etc/printcap

	# on SystemV system setting printcap name to lpstat should allow
	# you to automatically obtain a printer list from the SystemV spool
	# system
	; printcap name = lpstat

	# It should not be necessary to specify the print system type unless
	# it is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
	# bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx
	; printing = bsd

	# Enable this to make Samba 2.2 behavior just like Samba 2.0
	# not recommended nuless you are sure of what you are doing
	; disable spoolss = yes

	# list of users and groups which should be able to remotely manage
	# printer drivers installed on the server
	; printer admin = root, +ntadmin


##
## Winbind
##

	# specify the uid range which can be used by winbindd
	# to allocate uids for Windows users as necessary
	; winbind uid = 10000-65000

	# specify the uid range which can be used by winbindd
	# to allocate uids for Windows users as necessary
	; winbind gid = 10000-65000

	# Define a home directory to be given to passwd(5) style entries
	# generated by libnss_winbind.so.  You can use variables here
	; winbind template homedir = /home/%D/%U

	# Specify a shell for all winbind user entries return by the
	# libnss_winbind.so library.
	; winbind template shell = /bin/sh

	# What character should be used to separate the DOMAIN and Username
	# for a Windows user.  The default is DOMAIN\user, but many people
	# prefer DOMAIN+user
	; winbind separator = +
