woohoo someone else cares!  It wasn't a futile effort to write the how-to

Quite a nice guide that made me successfully set up SMB and AFP shares being advertised properly to my macbook. The problem I am having though is that when accessing the shares it doesnt prompt me for username/password and therefore I get guest logins only, which don't allow me access to my files. On SMB shares I do see the disk directory, and get the error that it cant find the object (access rights I assume) if i access one of the dirs. On AFP I get a connection failed right away and no dirlist. If I connect with the finder through the Go/Connect to server and providing my credentials all works fine, both for SMB and AFP.

I have googled for hours, but still lost on how to go from guest accounts to accounts with proper credentials.

Is there some expert around that could point me into the right direction?

thanks a lot!

To get rid of the guest account you need to edit the smb.conf and change the
security = SHARE to security = USER

see http://dns323.kood.org/forum/t3418-auth … rd%3F.html
for a recent dicussion

Thanks Mig. Tried it, but doesn't seems to work unfortunately. I have set the security to user and made it survive reboots. My macbook still doesnt ask for user credentials. Any other tip I could try?

Thanks!

The strange thing is that direct connects on my Macbook using smb://ipaddress/Volume_1 does prompt for user credentials. It looks like below:

It looks to me like you have setup your smb.conf correctly.
One thing you might try is to use the option

     map to guest = bad user

at the end of the [global] section

Thanks again for your tips Mig. Tried this, but it still doesn't work unfortunately. It tried to connect and then goes into connection failed. If I add a share to smb.conf like                               
[ Data ]                                                 
comment =                                               
path = /mnt/HD_a2/Data                                   
valid users =                               
read only = yes       
guest ok = yes         
oplocks =             
map archive =         

then i can perfectly access the data directory in readonly mode. It also shows I am connected as a guest. So my conclusion is that connectivity wise everything is ok and the problem is really with the user credentials.
Anything else worth trying?

Sorry, I really can't tell why this is happening.
How did you create your users on the DNS-322?
Are you using the same usernames and passwords on the
DNS-323 as on the Mac?

Ah, this rings a bell. I do have the same users on the CH3SNAS and the macbook, but different passwords. Will try making them equal and post results!

Thanks again for thinking with me.

Finally got it. The NAS was in my keychain, but with an ip-address. The same ip address (i use a static address for my NAS) was mapped to a hostid on the NAS itself, but to a different hostid in my router (which is DNS as well). Accessing the NAS through its name caused guest logins, since my keychain was tied to ip-address. When setting the hostname equal accross all devices, and adding the hostname with username/password to my keychain it worked. Finally
