From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Question - Anonymous Samba Share Permissons (iusearchlinux.fyi)

Hello - i've got an anonymous Samba share setup on an Ubuntu 20.04 installation as follows:

[global]
    map to guest = Bad User
    log file = /var/log/samba/%m
    log level = 1
    server role = standalone server

[ubuntu-media-share]
    path = /srv/samba/ubuntu-media-share
    read only = no
    guest ok = yes
    guest only = yes

On a remote Debian 12 server, I have the share mounted in /etc/fstab as follows:

//10.0.0.5/ubuntu-media-share   /media/ums      cifs    guest   0       0

However, I can only access this file share on the remote server as root. What am I missing to make this server accessible as any other user? In particular, I have users in the media group that need to read/write that directory.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I will research those uid/gid items, and see if they do the trick. Thank you for the help!
