Here is my smb.conf
[admin@wl-hdd root]$ cat /tmp/harddisk/part1/conf/
usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = MIDEARTH
netbios name = wl-hdd
security = share
guest account= nobody
guest ok = yes
encrypt passwords = no
[data]
comment = Data
path = /tmp/hd
read only = Yes
guest ok = Yes
[admin@wl-hdd root]$
It is straightforward
and shouldn't pose any problem. All users have access to /tmp/hd
you can probably make it work using your firmware, without having to provide an account. Once you get it working, can you try flashing oleg's latest firmware for wlhdd (if you have ext3 format) and just mount -o bind the etc folder to your conf/etc.
If it can work this way, then it means I need your FW to create users. maybe you can try anything from share browsing or connecting. You should get my problem in this situation.
Thanks for your help
