Samba Problem

[topzy2000]

Hi Guys,

Am a linux newbie.Iam usin fedora core 5.i simply want to view my samba shares on my winxp system with no login prompts, read/write access.dats all. i configured some of the basic parameters like workgroup = MSHOME, security = share etc. but i still get a prompt asking for a username and password. there was a time it bypassed that but when i double-clicked on the share it gave me a permission error. pls is there a way i can go around this

thanks

Tope

Use security=user instead of =share. If you have the same username and password on you windoze and Linux machines, it should work right out of the box. Otherwise you'll have to enter users equivalences into /etc/samba/smbusers.

username map = /etc/samba/smbusers

to your /etc/samba/smb.conf configuration file. Remember to restart Samba...
