From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: Samba Server with shared mode does not work Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Click <GNOME menu> -> [System Settings] -> [Server Settings] -> [Samba] 2.At the Samba server configuration window, Click [Preferences] -> [Server Settings] 3.At the Server Settings window, Click the [Security]tab 4.In the [Security] tab, set follows Authentication Mode [Share], Encript Passwords [Yes], Guest Account [nobody] 5.Click <Add(+)>button to show the create samba share window. 6.Create and specifu a new folder with read/write permissions under the [/home] directory at the [Basic] tab. 7.Select the [Allow access to everyone] in the [access] tab 8.The click [OK] to finish the creation of shared folder 9.SMB Service On (in [System Setting] -> [Server Setting] -> [Services]) 10.trusted device eth0 On in Security level ([System Setting]-> [Security Level]) Actual Results: From Windws PC, samba server can be found, however, to access the samba server, the user name and password is required (dialog box opens). So input the user name ["guest"] and password [""], but the same dialog box comes up again and again. Expected Results: After input the user name ["guest"] and password [""], Share folder should open Additional info:
I also have problem with Samba access in security=share mode. After upgrade from Samba 3.0.2 to 3.0.3 password is required for all shares even with guest acces enabled. So I cannot make a share readable from all machines in the subnet.
Same for me. Copied a working "security=share" config from FC1 to FC2. Can no longer allow Windows, or other Linux machines, access to my laptop without having to enter a password. Note that when accessing from a Windows machine that has the same username and password, browsing and access shares is not a problem.
Would like to add that this is a bug in Samba 3.0.3. Is fixed in 3.0.4. Bugzilla report is at: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1309 Hoping for an update.
An update for FC 1 was released a day or two ago. What about an update for FC 2? There's not one to be found even under "testing" in the ftp tree.
The update is already there, anyone is there can make an release? Thank You
FC2 is no longer maintained by RedHat, an update might be available in Fedora Legacy project.
