How can I enable true anonymous/everyone access to a Window share?
- by Matthew Read
I recently discovered that turning off "password protected sharing" in Windows 7 requires having the guest account enabled, named as such, and with a blank password.
While Windows seems to automatically attempt to use guest when connecting, Ubuntu does not, requiring anyone trying to access my share to know to use guest and a blank password. I really don't want to have the guest account enabled, either.
So is there a way to allow true anonymous access to a Windows share that doesn't require credentials? Or a way to allow any credentials at all?
