Samba Configuration

[anw]

Good day,

Any samba experts out there? I have it *almost* set up the way I want. Here's what I want to do (everything is referenced between a linux file server and a M$ workstation):

1. Anyone that has an account on the linux machine maps their home directory, the available USB drives, printers (there are two printers, one shared by a M$ workstation, one attempting to be shared by the linux workstation), and a large, public "guest" area that is also in /home (/home/guest).

2. If they don't have an account on the linux machine, anyone on the private 192.168.1/24 subnet has access to the guest area and printers.

The situation is that #1 works, #2 doesn't.

So, the bottom line, how do I give access to everyone on the private subnet to the guest area, even if they don't have a login?

Here's smb.conf:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2008/09/06 20:20:02

[global]
workgroup = CSUNV-EXECUTIVE
printcap name = cups
disable spoolss = Yes
show add printer wizard = No
printing = cups
print command =
lpq command = %p
lprm command =

server string = Big Share

TIA!

Well, for anyone who's interested (and because I try to maintain a minimum level of netiquette):

The lines
hosts deny = ALL
hosts allow = 192.168.1.plus some hints from http://tech.waltco.biz/2008/01/26/private-and-guest-no-password-prompt-samba-shares-with-securityuser/ did it!
