I am setting up a samba share on my little pogoplug server (thanks to the thread here I have it set up with debian!).
I've successfully gotten it to share my user home directory. I want to add a general public share for anyone on the network. I know I could add users for everyone in the house and set the permissions that way, but is it necessary for have everyone who uses the shared folders to have a user and samba-user on the server, or can I make a public shared drive?
EDIT: I successfully set it up so that there is a private user home directory and a public share directory, but I can't find a way so that you can access the public shared directory without entering a username and password in windows 7. If anyone has successfully set up a public shared folder using samba let me know how you did it!
