<samba:parameter name="guest account" context="G" type="string" basic="1" advanced="1" developer="1" xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc"> <description> <para>This is a username which will be used for access to services which are specified as <smbconfoption name="guest ok"/> (see below). Whatever privileges this user has will be available to any client connecting to the guest service. This user must exist in the password file, but does not require a valid login. The user account "ftp" is often a good choice for this parameter. </para> <para>On some systems the default guest account "nobody" may not be able to print. Use another account in this case. You should test this by trying to log in as your guest user (perhaps by using the <command moreinfo="none">su -</command> command) and trying to print using the system print command such as <command moreinfo="none">lpr(1)</command> or <command moreinfo="none"> lp(1)</command>.</para> <para>This parameter does not accept % macros, because many parts of the system require this value to be constant for correct operation.</para> </description> <value type="default">nobody<comment>default can be changed at compile-time</comment></value> <value type="example">ftp</value> </samba:parameter>
