Fedora Networking :: Samba Guest Account With Password Of 'guest'?
Mar 16, 2009
I have a local file server running Samba on Fedora 9. It's already configured and serves a few people without any problems. I am now trying to set up a new read-only share with the username 'guest' and the password 'guest'. However, with no success so far! If I log on as 'guest' with the password 'guest' like so:
Code:
su - guest
No problem. Once logged in, if I try:
Code:
smbclient //samba/share
I'm prompted for a password. If I enter 'guest' I get:
Code:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
If I enter nothing (null) I get:
Code:
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[RIVER] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.2.8-0.26.fc9]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

I have an old laptop trying to mount a share with samba on a server.
Laptop and server both running ubuntu 9.04.
When I try to mount a share on the server
I get a password prompt, and no server passwords work.
This is a guest share, and my two windows laptops mount it no problem with no password.
Here's the relevant part of the smb.conf:
Laptop and server are on the same workgroup.

I configuring samba under Fedora 12, i just set in samba dialog Server Settings->Security and choose guest account: apache. The account is exist io the Samba Server, now i try to login from Windows to Linux share, server asks me login and password, however when i set apache as login and not set password, server asks me login again as the password is incorrect. As i understand under guest acount can login any windows user without the password.

I had a lot of trouble installing Guest Additions within the Fedora 13 Guest on a Linux host. I had to mount the vboxGuestadditions.iso from the Device --> CD/DVD Devices menu. Then I located the appropriate package for my system. In my case it was the AMD64 Linux version.I ran this as administrator in Terminal. I used the "bash" command followed by the package name. This was after CDing the the appropriate directory. The packaged installed, I then rebooted and it worked fine. (Something that would make this easier is to load a script into nautilus that would allow me to open a locatation as administartor at the open window. I'm sure there is something in Fedora to do this but I couldn't find it in a hurry so I used the command line way).

I have some samba shares working where all I did was right click on the folder, enable sharing and enable guest access. These work fine.
However, when I tried to use the manual way:
[URL]
to create samba shares, so that they would be password protected, I cant access them. In windows 7, the shares are visible so I click them, click "use another account" and type in my samba name and password I created, but I can't access them.
Here is smb.conf
Code:
#
# Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.

I'm trying to install the Guest Additions for a VM running a guest Lucid Lynx Server. The problem I'm encountering is this: The vboxadd-install.log for vbox says it "couldn't find the sources of your current Linux kernel" and to "Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again."

OpenSUSE installed in a Virtualbox Virtual Machine and I want to set a shared folder.
1 - Set up a Virtual Machine and install OpenSUSE 11.2
2 - Create a shared folder on host (HostFolder)
3 - Setup the shared folder in Virtualbox Via the Virtual Machine details or via Devices > Shared Folders...
4 - Install dependencies for running the Virtualbox installer You need to install the right development kernelpackage for your machinetype (use 'zypper search -i kernel' to see what's installed) sudo zypper make gcc kernel-source kernel-hosttype/default-devel
5 - Run the Virtual Machine and go to Devices > Guest Additions This mounts an iso image in your OpenSUSE guest.
6 - Open a root terminal and run
cd /usr/src/linux
make oldconfig && make prepare && make scripts && make dep
cp ../linux-obj/$HOSTTYPE/default/Module.symvers .
make prepare
* A commenter on previously mentioned thread says this step is unnecessary but it doesn't work without on my system. I suggest trying step 7 first and returning to step 6 if that fails. *
7 - Run ./VirtualboxLinux yourhosttype .run from the mounted iso image.
8 - Create shared folder in OpenSUSE (GuestFolder)
9 - Test with sudo mount -t vboxsf HostFolder /home/user/GuestFolder It works? Great! Let's set up the system so it automounts for your regular useraccount instead of root-only access.
10 - Add this line to /etc/fstab HostFolder /home/user/GuestFolder vboxsf defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
11 - It works for me but if it still doesn't automount after a reboot; sudo mount -a

Is there any way to access the guest account without having to go through the Gnome Panel? I'm using Cairo-Dock and disabled the Gnome Panels since it just gets in the way, but the only way I know to get access to the guest account is through gnome panel.

I am trying to use a guest account in Ubuntu 10.10 however I am unable to stop the guest account from authenticating as a superuser and gaining root permissions dispite removing all permissions from the user-group control panel. The new guest account I created is not part of the admin group. However, with my new guest account I am unable to start a guest session from the panel, AND if I use the guest session from the panel I dont have the problem with the guest session being able to authenticate. How do I prevent super user authentication from an account in this situation? It seems that any account can authenticate and my /etc/sudoers file looks like this:
# /etc/sudoers
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#
Defaults env_reset
# Host alias specification
# User alias specification
# Cmnd alias specification
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
# (Note that later entries override this, so you might need to move
# it further down)
%sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL
#
#includedir /etc/sudoers.d
# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

I spill my soda on my keyboard and ended up in a 4 day war with my pc.Now my tab, capslock, left shift, and down vol no longer works. I'm going to take it into the shop in the next couple of days to probably replace the keyboard. (If only lenovo kept the easy access keyboards like ibm had on the thinkpads). Something tells me that they will want to log in and test out the keyboard. So I created a guest account with a simple password. I changed my normal user home dir to 770 permissions and changed guest's shell to /bin/rbash. (both found in other posts.) Is there anything else I should do to secure the computer while it is in the shop?[I use su, sudo isn't configured to work (its a dependency so I can't uninstall)]. I have a pretty decent root password.

My machine is HP Pavilion DV5. I am running Vista Home Premium as host and installed Fedora 10 as guest using Vmware Workstation 6.5.3 B185404. I am using wireless connection for Vista and use NAT for Fedora (as default). I cannot connect to the internet in Fedora. Is it because of the issue of driver for the wireless card in Fedora, not sure, coz Fedora just uses connection through the host right? I need to download packages and use for my program.

I'm trying to get samba working on a debian/xebian box to use as a fileserver. I have a HTPC which is win 7 and a laptop which is OS X. I've installed SWAT and Samba to manage the whole settings. I'm trying to get it setup so that there's a user which has access to my ~/ and a guest user which just has read access to ~/Media/ so that the Media centre can read all the files from it without having to login.
The problem is when I have map to guest set as NEVER I can access the samba ~/ and I'm asked for a username and password which I login with fine and can access the files on both share ~/ and ~/Media. However when I set the map to guest to bad user or bad password I can access the share for ~/Media. But when I try and access the share ~/ I don't get any login box and I immediately get the error "Can't access share permission denied" or an error along those lines.
Here's my /etc/samba/smb.conf
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 192.168.1.65 (192.168.1.65)
# Date: 2010/07/10 20:39:16
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = MS_HOME
server string = %h server (Samba %v)
obey pam restrictions = Yes
passdb backend = tdbsam, guest
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *EntersnewsUNIXspassword:* %n .....
How to get it working so I can have a guest share for my HTPC and a logged in user for my private files?

All I want is a simple Samba installation that anonymous users/guests can access. I have modified the smb.conf file so much using 'tips' that should enable a simple folder share. Nothing works. If I share the folder using Nautilus share then the folder is accessible without any credentials from only Win7 and android ES File Explorer. XP can't see the folder, nor can any other linux device. I want to switch to linux as a main OS but without shares it's not practical. Does anyone have a stripped down smb.conf which provides guest access to a single folder?
Here's the latest testparm -s
Code:
$ testparm -s
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf

My Windows guests see my VMware Host Only folders as \.hostShared Folders But when I try to see them from a Linux guest, all I get is frustrated. No permutation of that seems to work. Because the Windows guests see the shared folders I know the host is doing its part in providing them. After two days of not finding an answer on the VMware Workstation forum I finally figured out that the problem really is how to look for them with Linux. With Linux I can turn off all NICs accept the Host Only NIC, put smb://172.16.138.1 into the address bar and see all the shares on the host, but not the folder designated as the host only folder.

I'm running Fedora 10 as host to vmplayer guests (win98se, Ubuntu 9.04). Each can connect to the Samba server and give me access to my home directory and 'backup' partition. Samba and nfs are both running. So far so good.
I've just installed Fedora 11 as a vmplayer guest. When I click Places > Network Nautilus opens up showing only Windows Network. Double-click on this item and I get a pop-up message: "Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server." SELinux is disabled for the moment. I tried to mount the 'backup' partition: mount -t ext3 catinthehat2:/archive /mnt/archive but get the message: mount: special device catinthehat2:/archive does not exist.

I would like to share a folder from a Linux Guest with a Windows host (with read and write access if possible) in VirtualBox. I read in these two links: here and here that it's possible to do this using Samba, but I am a little bit lost and need more information on how to proceed.
So far, I managed to set up two network adapters (one NAT and one host-only) and to install Samba on the Linux guest, but I have the following questions now: What do I need to type in samba.conf to share a folder from the Linux guest? (the tutorial provided in one of the links above only explains how to share home directories) Are there any Samba commands that I need to run on the guest to enable sharing? How do I make sure that these folders are only available to the host OS and not on the Internet? Once the Linux guest is setup, how do I access each of the individual shared folders from the Windows host? I read that I need to mount a drive on Windows to do this, but do I use Samba logins, or Linux logins, also do I use localhost? or do I need to set up an IP for this?

I'm running Ubuntu 9.1 i386 in test with Vmware 2.0.2. I used Radu Cotescu's patch and instructions to get vmware installed. Everything seems to be running fine in the guest machine (CentOS 5), except I can't ssh from the Ubuntu host to the guest machine.
This guest is a clone of one that is running under on my Ubuntu 8.1 host and networking is fine there. I'm wondering if there were changes to routing or bridging in Ubuntu 9.1 to cause this. I've been digging through google for a while, but haven't seen others reporting any issues. This is definitely particular to Karmic Koala though.
The host's routing table is:
Code:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 wlan0
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 vmnet3
[code]....
My routing table on the Ubuntu 8.1 host differs by the link-local line only, and the guests are exactly the same.I can ssh from the guest into the host, as 192.168.0.2 is the hosts ip on the vm network. The host should be able to ssh to the guest as it does in Ubuntu 8.1.

I have installed Red Hat Eterprise Linux as a Guest OS using VirtualBox on the Host OS Windows XP SP 2 on my PC. I want to access my local / intranet web site from this Guest OS which is running on the top of on Windows XP, the Host OS. I am not sure as to what IP Settings I need to do. Though I am able to access Internet from both the OSes. The IP of this Guest OS is:

I have installed Microsoft Self Loop Adapter (Autoconfiguration IP Address: 169.254.25.129) on the Host OS Windows XP. There is another adapter: VirtualBox Host-Only Network whose IP Address is: 192.168.56.1. So, how can we access intranet web site from the Host OS to Guest OS and vice versa. I also want to access this virtual Red Hat machine /console from within windows XP using PUTTY application. From Windows XP the Red Hat machine is pinging. But when I use the IP to access the machine through PUTTY it doesn't work.
