Cannot view contents of a samba share

IRJ

I created a wide open guest acessible samba share with these permissions:

[share]

path = /share
browsable = yes
writable = yes
read only = no
force user = nobody
guest ok = yes

I can successfully mount this share on the remote system. However I cannot view any files. I am playing around in a lab so I gave chmod 777 to /share and restarted both servers. Samba client is still unable to view files.

When I run ls -la /share on the client that mounted the share, it returns this:

total 8
drwxrwxrwx  2 root root 4096 Jun 21 20:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Jun 21 20:22 ..

Are the permissions only set to root user? I need them to be anonymous in this case.

Got it working. I had to set the user to nobody instead of guest. Oddly enough it would mount as guest, but just not be readable.

May need

public = yes

in the config if I remember correctly.

Still the same result.

Ubuntu/Debian or Fedora/CentOS? If its Fedora/CentOS, SELinux needs to be configured.

Create a test file in the directory, then run ls -lash

Try this post?

That I used Fedora, should not matter.

Thank for the help. I'll likely take a look at this on Monday

I was able to create a text file, and permissions to everyone are showing rwx on the directory.

I tried disabling apparmor still no joy.

I followed that and reboot both systems. Still nothing
