How can I enable Samba file access for ALL pc’s in the network and how can I disable the User/Password authorization? I don’t need that
I use openSUSE 11.0 with KDE3, i686
EDIT: for my Samba Server
EDIT2: I want that other PCs that want access to shares from my Samba Server don’t get a Username/Password dialog
Sorry, but I don’t understand. Enable what? And disable authorization for what?

I want do disable this authorization on my samba server, I need access without this authorization:
I may be wrong, but remote client verification is required by design in Windows Networking - and since Samba is little more than a reverse-engineered Windows Networking, it’s perfectly possible that password prompts actually can’t be disabled. Just my two € cents…
If I’m not mistaking you can do this by going to (on the server)
Yast Control Center > Network Services > Samba Server
Select the share
Edit > Add
Search in the list for the option Guest OK hit the OK button and set the value to Yes. Restart Samba and it should work.
Good luck and let us know how it works out

In the Global section of /etc/smb.conf add the parameter “security = share”.
Your smb.conf needs to be edited as root. See “man smb.conf” for the use of
this parameter. I will confess it has been many years since I’ve used this
setting. I seem to remember that Windows would ask for a username/password
but let you in no matter what you supplied, but I may be wrong here.

Is this on the test?
If all of that excellent advice doesn’t do it for you, post the Samba config file (/etc/samba/smb.conf) and maybe it’s got a kink in it that needs smoothing.
Thank you this works perfectly!
I think editing the smb.conf is no more needed.
THX @ all
And sorry for my very bad English
