Linux/Samba/Public Share/Old Method

Quick File Server - SHARE
Summary: Guest access file server (no password)

Install Samba: yum install samba samba-client

Create a share folder: mkdir /files chown nobody:nobody files

Samba configuration files: /etc/samba/smb.conf

Modify samba configuration and add our file share: [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = DATA server string = Guest File Server

security = share # guest account = root guest account = nobody

follow symlinks = yes wide links = yes unix extensions = no

# Disable printers: load printers = no printing = bsd printcap name = /dev/null disable spoolss = yes show add printer wizard = no

[pub] comment = Guest access share path = /files browseable = yes # read only = yes (default) guest ok = yes

Note: to make writable 'read only = no'

Restart Samba: service smb restart

Root Guest File Server
This is what kmg uses: [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = KMANAGE server string = Guest File Server

security = share guest account = root #guest account = nobody

follow symlinks = yes wide links = yes unix extensions = no

# Disable printers: load printers = no printing = bsd printcap name = /dev/null disable spoolss = yes show add printer wizard = no

[pub] comment = Guest access share path = /newpu browseable = yes # read only = yes (default) read only = no guest ok = yes

Share
Samba Guest Public Share: (doesn't ask for a password) [global] #default# workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = FILESERVER server string = Guest File Server

#default# idmap config * : backend = tdb

security = SHARE guest account = root #guest account = nobody

[pub] comment = Guest access share path = /pub #default# browseable = yes read only = No guest ok = Yes

smbusers: nobody = guest

$ testparm smb.conf: WARNING: The security=share option is deprecated

Warning: Doesn't work on Windows 7+

Maybe due to policy? - Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always) - secpol.msc - Security Settings/Local Policies/Security Options

Maybe due to firewall? - This problem occurs because the network firewall filters Kerberos traffic. To resolve this problem, configure the network firewall so that TCP port 88 and UDP port 88 are not blocked for either domain. 

Maybe due to domain computer connecting to non domain system?
