[TCLUG] Painfully insecure Samba

Sat Aug 31 02:24:40 CDT 2002

Here is a simple config that should do the trick -- this sets up an open
share called "public" in the WORKGROUP workgroup.

# begin smb.conf
# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = WORKGROUP
        server string = Linux File Server
        security = SHARE
        map to guest = Bad Password
        null passwords = Yes
        create mask = 0775
        directory mask = 0775
        hosts allow = 10.0.0. 127.

[public]
        path = /storage/public
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes
# end smb.conf
