From: Ignoramus30238 on 15 Apr 2008 01:15 I have a ubuntu based server and a windows client. I have some SMB shares that I want to be read only and available without password (for anyone coming from legitimate IPs). My issue is that the ubuntu server insists on authenticating the user, even for read only shares. How can I make it acept anyone, without password? NFS works great for linux clients though. i
