Creating an anonymous samba share in CentOS 7

@wirestyle22 the change in config file should have solved the issue of the share asking you for a password. Did you check config file with testparm to check for any other errors?

@Romo

Load smb config files from smb.conf.master
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
Error loading services.

@wirestyle22 There is something wrong with your configuration. If you created a backup of the original config start from it again.

Following the guide you can just:
rm smb.conf smb.conf.master
cp smb.conf.bak smb.conf.master
vi smb.conf.master

While editing once again add: map to guest = Bad User to the global parameters section.

Go to the bottom of the file and add your share details once again.

[sharename]
path = /chosen/path
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
browseable = Yes 
public = Yes

Create your final smb.conf and check for error using:
testparm -s smb.conf.master > smb.conf

Restart your services:
systemctl restart smb.service
systemctl restart nmb.service

And it should be working.

@Romo said in Creating an anonymous samba share in CentOS 7:

systemctl restart nmb.service

That worked! I must have typo'd somewhere. I did re-read it a ton. Idk. Thanks!

@wirestyle22 Great!!
