Creating an anonymous samba share in CentOS 7

wirestyle22

@Romo Still don't know where I'm going wrong here Is this correct?

Romo

@wirestyle22 It seems fine. Can you post the output of smbclient -L localhost ran from your samba server please.

Romo

@wirestyle22 Just added the steps to mount the share to a Windows 10 PC to the orginal post.

wirestyle22

@Romo I did not output smbclient -L localhost yet. I'll do that when I get home today. The other steps you took were the same steps I did. We'll see what happens with the command. Thanks!

Romo

@wirestyle22 Did you get it working?

-Modify your global config settings :
map to guest = Bad User you wrote Bad user

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

Check your folder owner and permissions again.

@Romo It's detectable now but It prompted me to login. Realized none of my work PC's are Windows 10 and I am not sure what the account is considered locally, being an online account. [email protected] would make the domain @gmail.com

When I restarted the services they error'd out so I just performed sudo reboot

Romo

@wirestyle22 Can you please post an ls -l of your share folder

wirestyle22

@Romo I will when I get home. Thanks for all of the help btw

Did you change your global configuration settings?

Romo

@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?

wirestyle22

@Romo

Load smb config files from smb.conf.master
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
Error loading services.
[root@localhost ~]#```

Romo

@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.
