Actually there is nothing about security. It is about to keep Windowx Xp
incompatible to Ubuntu. The same way m$ do ;)
Let's see some facts:
- Ubuntu (Nautilus) _can_ access Ubuntu(samba) with security=user
enabled
- WinXp _can't_ access Ubuntu(samba) with security=user enabled
- WinXp _has_ security=user by default too, but it _can_ sync usernames.
- ubuntu ( samba ) _can't_ sync usernames, but it keep Guest account
open so Ubuntu ( Nautilus ) can access it.
- WinXp theoretically can access Ubuntu(samba) with security=user
enabled, but it need to know about opened Guest account.
- security=user + opened Guest account = almost the same us
security=share, with one exception WinXp do not know any thing about
this.
- opened Guest account _is_ security problem by default in ubuntu!!!!
So about what kind of security we talking???!!!
Is default security=user real secure???
For example we can use
"security=user (smb.conf default ) " + "opened Guest account (smb.conf
default ) " + "map to guest = Bad User (Nautilus default)"
what is the same what Ubuntu ( Nautilus ) do.
