Ok, this is driving me crazy... I've got a share on my Powerbook (OS X, running Samba) that I want guests to be able to log in to. Setting up user names for each guest on the PB isn't feasible, so I want any user who isn't recognized by the system to be logged in as a guest... This seems to work fine with every SMB client except Windows XP. I can't browse the Mac or see any shares from XP machines, but it works fine from Win2k machines. Any idea what's going on? What did MS do to XP to prevent guest logins from working? I noticed that you can leave the username and password lines blank on XP anymore, is my system sending some wrong signals making XP think guest's aren't welcome? I hope someone can help... Here is my smb.conf file: [global] guest account = unknown encrypt passwords = yes auth methods = guest opendirectory passdb backend = opendirectorysam guest printer admin = @admin, @staff server string = Mac OS X unix charset = UTF-8-MAC display charset = UTF-8-MAC dos charset = 437 use spnego = no client ntlmv2 auth = no workgroup = OFFTHEHILL browseable = yes guest ok = yes hide dot files = yes [homes] comment = User Home Directories browseable = yes read only = yes [Public] path = /public browseable = yes public = yes guest ok = yes writable = no printable = no
