SMB Share prompting for password even though it's set to public
by witchkinkofangmar from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5EM1N)
I am trying to share out both protected and open paths. The protected ones work fine but the the public one is still prompting for a password. Here is the smb.conf file:
Code:[global]
client signing = yes
client use spnego = yes
workgroup = CORPORATE
realm = CORPORATE.NAME.COM
security = ads
username map = /etc/samba/username.map
idmap config * : backend = autorid
idmap config * : range = 100000-19999999
idmap config * : rangesize = 1000000
template homedir = /home/%D/%U
template shell = /bin/bash
winbind use default domain = false
winbind offline logon = true
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
log level = 0
[public_path]
path = /public/path/to/dir
public = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
guest account = nobody
force user = nobody
browsable = yes
writeable = yesThe permissions on the directory are drwxrwxrwx nobody:nobody.
Not sure what else to try. Tried on both Windows 7 and Windows 10
