Have you looked at /usr/doc/HOWTO/SMB-Howto.gz? It contains a starter /etc/smb.conf as follows: ----------------- [global] ; Uncomment this if you want a guest account ; guest account = nobody log file = /var/log/samba-log.%m lock directory = /var/lock/samba share modes = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no read only = no create mode = 0750 [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = no public = yes ------------------- Note1: You'll need to enable a guest account for browsing to work from the Win clients. Note2: This same Howto suggests using the "ftp" user for guest access instead of "nobody"; however, I've used "nobody" and it's worked fine for me.
