CIFS ACCESS WITHOUT PASSWORD

¿How is't possible export a cifs share without password?

We want all users can access to this share without they have to introduce their credentials

- Cifs is in workgroup mode -

Yes, you need to set option cifs.guest_account and ensure that this Unix user maps to some Windows user which should be considered guest.

simsim> options cifs.guest_account nobody

simsim> cifs sessions

Server Registers as 'SIMSIM' in workgroup 'WORKGROUP'

Root volume language is not set. Use vol lang.

Using Local Users authentication
