Hello,

i install samba on AIX 5.3 and when i try to connect to the shared folder from windows it give me a prompt authentication window to access the server, anyway to allow any user to access that shared folder? i need to access it without the prompt authentication window.

Thanks

Welcome moudmm,

We will need to know the version of Samba in use and the source (i.e. the IBM supplied or from Samba - opening windows to a wider world)

Can you post your configuration files so we know what you have defined. There are choices about global security settings and possibly those for each share.

I'm maybe not best placed to answer this, but anyone will to help out will need this information to get started. Otherwise you are just saying "My car won't start. What's wrong?" and you end up with 20 questions to diagnose it.

Kind regards,
Robin

Hi,

this example should work without a authentification promt:

[global]
        map to guest = Bad User

[test]
        path = /tmp/test
        read only = no
        guest ok = yes
        force user = nobody

Regards
