howto allow anonymous access to samba [Solved]

fajung · 2016-06-18 18:58:14

I recently installed Arch, because and HDD failure, in my broken HDD I had eOS Freya, with Samba set up, now in Arch I can't get samba set up as I used to had in eOS Freya, I copy the old samba(smb.conf) to my Arch:

#OpenWrt template
[global]
        netbios name = Archlinux
        display charset = UTF-8
#     interfaces = 127.0.0.1/8 lo 192.168.0.3/24 enp2s0
 	interfaces = enp2s0 # <= ip link for my network :192.168.0.3 my Ip local address
        server string = Archlinux Samba
        unix charset = UTF-8
        workgroup = WORKGROUP
        browseable = yes
        deadtime = 30
        domain master = yes
        encrypt passwords = true
        enable core files = no
        guest account = nobody
        guest ok = yes
        invalid users = root
        local master = yes
        load printers = no
        map to guest = Bad User
        max protocol = SMB2
        min receivefile size = 16384
        null passwords = yes
        obey pam restrictions = yes
        os level = 20
        passdb backend = smbpasswd
        preferred master = yes
        printable = no
        security = user
        smb encrypt = disabled
        smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        syslog = 2
        use sendfile = yes
        writeable = yes

#	wins support = yes
#	name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast
	

[Peliculas]
	path = /home/fajung/Vídeos/Movies
	browsable = yes
	valid users = fajung nobody
	read only = no
	guest ok = yes
	create mask = 0777
	directory mask = 0777

[Música]
	path = /home/fajung/Música
	browsable = yes
	valid users = fajung
	read only = no
	guest ok = no
	create mask = 0640
	directory mask = 0750

I added my user to samba "smbpasswd -a fajung" but I don't remember if I have to add nogroup or nobody to somewhere
I don't remember how I set it up in the other system, it was long time ago. I check on Samba Wiki but at this point I could be missing something just in front of my eyes.

I need to allow anonymous (nobody I think) access because I use to access to it from a Windows 7, and to make it easy access

You could try nfs instead it's simpler and doesn't have authentication by default.

this is the output for the testparm -S:

I just installed samba, do I install somthing else smbclient is on, I added my user to samba password.

I don' want to force a user to map it to my user, because later on I'm going to restric access to a folder. I've tried to uninstall samba, to start all over again, but pacman didn't unistall it, to many dependecies with samba, so I deleted the /etc/samba folder, an copy my old smb.conf file, but I can't get in, without user & password, Anonimously or no login can't get in.

all the shared folder have a 0777 permissions

PS: I replace my smb.conf file with this one: Sample configuration and returned error when I tried to restart smbd nmbd
-

EDIT: I solved it, all the folder that I wanned to share, were under /home/fajung/... my userfolder and the permission were 0700, so it was unreachable for any one but me, I chmod it to 755 and now I can't access to it from other machine without login

to uninstall a program and its deps, pacman -Rs
i'm guessing the 0777 thing means umask 077 when you created the directory? seems weird for a shared one to make it only readable for the user who created it.
