Topic: SME 6.0.1 Custom: Access I-Bay as Guest not possible

[Guenter]

Hi,

I setup a Machine with SME 6.0.1 Custom ISO and created a IBay. The Rights on this bay are:
Group: Everyone:
Write: Group, Read: everyone.

When i try access to this bay from WinXPSP1 doing \\<ipfromsme> I have to enter some Username and Password!
I wish to make this IBay accessable from every User from everywhere.

Check your IBay configuration using the Server-Manager and make sure that in the field "Public access via web or anonymous ftp" that you select "Entire Internet (no password required)".

No success. My Winbox ask me for a user/password again.

Do you have your SME server as part of the same domain / workgroup as your Windows PC?  

Also, are you using DNS or WINS?

Your smb has the following:
level2 oplocks = yes
max connections = 0
oplocks = yes

You may want to change the oplocks to be blank as well as the connections to be some value other than 0, I have looked at my smb file and all these entrie are blank.

The only other difference I can find is that you are pointing to a WINS server.

Hi,

I'm not using DNS, i use WINS.

I've tired

Code: [Select]


max connections = 999


No success.

Then I changed to

Code: [Select]


security=share


Anyone can connect to my SME-Box, but with this modification I lost all the Security, isn't it?

You are trying to override the basic security of the SME here.  Think about it: you want a server that doesn't authenticate its users - how many people would be happy to do that?

To do what you want, you're going to have to start gettting to grips with creating a custom /etc/smb.conf and allow guest access to the ibay.  You can read the man page for smb.conf parameters on http://www.samba.org to help you do this.

That said, what's the problem with logging into the SME?  XP will allow you to log into an SME (as a different user, if required) & can remember the credentials so you only ever need to do it once.
