||
| − | In some situations, it is valuable to have unauthenticated access to a Samba server, where the username and password supplied by the client is ignored. |
||
| − | |||
| − | To share (for example) /public_data on a Samba server first create an smb.conf with: |
||
| − | |||
| − | [global] |
||
| − | map to guest = bad user |
||
| − | |||
| − | [public] |
||
| − | path = /public_data |
||
| − | guest ok = yes |
||
| − | |||
| − | To allow write access to the share change it to: |
||
| − | |||
| − | [public] |
||
| − | path = /public_data |
||
| − | guest ok = yes |
||
| − | read only = no |
||
| − | |||
| − | Finally, ensure that the Samba guest account (typcially nobody) has the posix permissions to read and write (as appropriate) /data on your server's file system. |
||
| − | |||
| − | For example, you may wish to give world read access with: |
||
| − | chmod -R a+rX /public_data |
||
| − | |||
| − | To change the guest account, set: |
||
| − | |||
| − | [globals] |
||
| − | guest account = samba_guest |
||
| − | map to guest = bad user |
||
| − | |||
| − | This configuration will still permit authentication - any user in your Samba password database (passdb.tdb, smbpasswd etc) can still authenticate, as long as the username is correct. |
||
| − | |||
| − | To test access to the share will work regardless of username specified by the client, run: |
||
| − | |||
| − | smbclient //server/public -Unot_a_user%foo |
||
| − | smb> ls |
||
| − | smb> get file |
||
| − | |||
| − | (where file is a file in /public_data) |
