I'm trying to set up an open Samba share on Debian Linux and for some reason I'm having problems with the 'open' part. I have a folder in Linux called /share that's owned by root:users and has 777 permissions: Code: drwxrwsrwx 2 root users 4096 Oct 2 12:19 share Now my Samba configuration is as shown below: Code: fs3:/etc/samba# cat smb.conf [global] workgroup = workgroup server string = Share obey pam restrictions = Yes pam password change = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* . unix password sync = Yes syslog = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 dns proxy = No panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d security = share [share] path = /share comment = Test Share writable = yes browsable = yes read only = no Now when I try to browse to the share from any Windows machine, I'm prompted with a login box that doesn't allow me to change the username field. It's like grayed out or not editable for some reason. I just have an option for a password but since I have no idea what credentials it's asking for, I don't know how to fix this. Users just want an 'un-secure' share to dump files and folders in. Seems fairly simple but I've not used Samba in some time and have no idea what I'm doing...
I suspect the following lines should work : [share] force create mode = 0777 force directory mode = 0777 create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777
