I've had a similar problem. Try different configurations first; Ie, create a different username, say test, and set this as the guest account. Also, my configuration has "guest only = yes" - there's some Significance with all these parameters and the guest user and it took me A while to get it right. Perhaps try it with different permissions on your Directory too. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sir June Sent: Friday, 30 October 2009 3:12 p.m. To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: simple samba sharing Hi, I can't make this simple samba sharing to work.
