Only you can tell us. Was the guest enabled? Did you modify the permissions on the folder beyond default?
Perhaps you log into with another account in that pc and got cached. If you do so, make sure you delete share in xp before testing another account with net use.
Is the issue still persistant, even after you reboot winxp? If so just make sure every other PC is not connected to OMV and watch the service section webUI for SMB it will tell you which user is logged to narrow the issue
This a known problem. Thought only existed in win7. This will make a guest access to fail, in a particular case were the pwd are different. In that case you can type nobody as login an no pwd
Can't understand y comment . How can I login f.i. as user-1 (admin) on a Win-XP system when I gave the user-1 a user pw and then enter on the login nobody and no pw. Nobody is no admin or user on this Win-XP PC. Then nobody becomes a guest ?
Nobody does not need to be an admin on the local machine, this user only has to be a valid user on the target machine. But it might be possible that win cannot login that user, than you have to add the machine name of the NAS and a backslash before the user name like this: homenas\nobody. This is how I always log in to my OMV boxes, I always use different user names.
You have a long way to learn....check the samba config at /etc/samba/smb.conf or the samba documentation website
The guest account is mapped to system account nobody (which he does not belong to groups users, thus no write access). You set up a share with guest allowed and privileges and by any chance you have win username identical to OMV and different password.
What would happen if you try an access AS GUEST from that username account in windows, the login prompt will fail all the time. In this case windows is sending the "credentials" before. So for that particular case you can type nobody and no pwd.
Any other case the guest allowed should login straight into the share with just read access
In your particular case you login straight to the share because windows send the valid credentials, which in this case happened to be the same in OMV
That is no fault in Win-XP ? Win-7 operate same way ?
I thought windows 7 was the only one affected, now i know also happens in XP, and apparently also in win8
Today I continued and found the problem: The user name and pw for Win-XP was indentical w the login user name and pw for the OMV user / shared folder(s) !
Congratulations for figuring that out.
That means Win-XP automaticaly login to OMV when starting the PC.
Normal behaviour.
I changed the user name and PW and then it works as I expect in the same way w the other devices.
Well, then I have to say, in that case, your expecation doesn't concur with how Samba/Windows behaves.
