Bug Description
Bug #32067 only goes half the way:
"map to guest = bad user" as default is nice, but won't do a thing if "guest account = nobody" is disabled by default.
To post a comment you must log in.
$ grep -i 'guest account' /etc/samba/smb.conf name='guest account'
; guest account = nobody
$ testparm -s --parameter-
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[print$]"
Loaded services file OK.
nobody
$
So the guest account is set to nobody by default. Are you sure the problem isn't that the username you're using on the Windows client matches a username on the Ubuntu server?
