Hi,
Try putting other uid/gid for nobody, like positive ones.

I think negative uid/gid are not allowed in HPUX.

Create a specific account (like "smbguest") with a possitive uid and a gid (e.g. other).

smbguest:*:200:1::/:

Then set
guest account = smbguest
in smb.conf

Hi,

# grep nobody /etc/passwd
nobody:*:-2:-2::/:
# su - nobody
su: Invalid ID
# id
uid=0(root) gid=3()
#

So, it seems like the problem is from the negative uid/gid. Change them to something positive (i use 99:99)

That's it guys!
Looking at the log file it seemed that it doesn't recognize user nobody. Once i changed it's uid and gid everythings worked!
Perfect..now i'm seeing directory. Now comes security, i hope it will not be difficult to configure ;)
Thanks again
