Hi, > So what is exactly the wording?
sudo -E smbpasswd -a gast and then the new password Atleast that is what I did on VM You also should not need to login to the guest account. Failing to login should automatically use the gast user account as the user connected. Setting is controlled via `map to guest = Bad User` > What else do I have to do? Nothing that I can think off. You have the unix account added via (operating system ...) You also have the samba user added via smbpasswd I mean it's possible to check if the folder itself is readable/writeable by the user, but I kinda doubt that's where the issue lies. \\{server}\public should be the UNC You also do now seem to hit any special sections (there are 3 global, printers, homes) https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smb.conf.5.html I'm pretty sure you've checked the logs. If not maybe there are some issues that are registered, although not visible... cd /var/log/samba -- Hope that helps, Ignas Lapėnas
