If that's your entire smb.conf, then you're missing "guest account =" which specifies which FreeBSD account is used when a user connects as guest. Read the Samba docs on the logon process, as they describe this in excellent detail. And check the smb logs in /var/log for error message that will point you to the problem if you still have trouble. -- Bill Moran Potential Technology http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
