Samba Confusion

[glennbtn]

Hi All

Still new to Linux and especaily samba. I have setup samba for 2 shares,will list below shares. 1 which requires a login and 1 temp folder which I would like guest access to.

Currently I have security = user which works great for the data folder which requires a login. If I try to access temp I get asked for a user name and password as well.

I tried to set security = share which then allowed access to temp with out a login but also allowed access to the data folder. From the data folder I emoved public = yes. I then get askd for a user name and passwrod like I should but the system will not accept it.

This is a Centos 5.5 server with a mail server on it. Any help you be great

Had to change path as forum having a fit about url's

data
comment = Data Folder
path = home
public = yes
writable = yes
browseable = yes
printable = no
avaliable = yes
write list = glenn,
force create mode = 0660
force directory mode = 0770

temp
comment = temp folder
path = temp
public = yes
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
guest account = nobody
available = yes
force user = nobody
force group = nobody


Thanks Glenn

I'd suggest keeping it simple at first, then add your options until you get what you want. Make sure all directories have correct permissions too.

# We create a new share that we can read/write to from anywhere
# This is kind of like a public temp share, anyone can do what
# they want here.
[public]
comment = Public Files
create mask = 0766
path = /home/samba/public
