| 446136 | 2006-04-14 01:18:00 | I am trying to use samba to access a drive on my computer Whenever i try to access it i get asked for a password which shouldnt happen as i (think) i have guest access setup. Here is the part of my smb.conf: [win] browseable = yes writeable = yes invalid users = path = /media/files comment = Movies etc public = yes available = yes |

| 446138 | 2006-04-14 06:42:00 | Here is part of a SAMBA file that I use that might be helpful. I can't remember why but for things to work well, I had to use the line "force group = " #Setup for LIBRARY [LIBRARY] comment = Shared directory for allocated users path = /home/shares/library valid users = @staff public = no writable = yes browseable = yes create mask = 0770 force group = staff |

| 446140 | 2006-04-14 07:50:00 | This is all I've got.. [blah] path = /home/blah writeable = yes browseable = yes guest ok = yesYou say you are using Samba to mount a share on your computer. Is your computer Linux? Is the other computer Linux. If both are Linux I would look at using NFS and not Samba |

| 446141 | 2006-04-14 23:09:00 | I found guest access to be a pain, so i set it up to use users. I still couldnt access it ... silly me had forgotten to run smbpasswd to setup the user... Anyway problem solved, thanks all |
