Stab in the dark.. Does your users need Write access?? or are you only planning to give read-only access. I see guess ok = yes public = yes right??? So, if the user who is browsing around your samba server(From Linux or Windows??), If that user is a valid user in the Windows Domain, and not on your FC2 pc/server, then it will ask you for a password. (1 time) If that windows user has an account on the FC2, but the password is not in sync with samba's password backend, then he/she will keep getting asked for a password. (_keep_on_&_on) To disable this, and enable guest users, your smb.conf global section needs to have this line map to guest = bad user I hope that helps and I really hope that's what you're asking. Otherwise, Sorry Dude.. --
