Hello, I have "dist-upgraded" my Debian (unstable/Sid) Machine and installed Samba 3.2.0 pre2. My "old" Samba-Installation was working fine, but the new Version is not able to Handle "Guest" Accounts properly. Every time when i try to access the Samba-Share, Windows (WinXP Pro. (32 Bit), SP2) keeps asking for a Password. I do not think this is a config/Firewall issue, because my "smb.conf" was working fine with the "old" Version. It seems, like no share is available anymore, "smbclient -L localhost -U%" outputs : ============[ testparm output ]=================== Domain=[EXIL] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.2.0pre2] Receiving SMB: Server stopped responding tree connect failed: Call timed out: server did not respond after 20000 milliseconds ================================================== "testparm" outputs is : ============[ testparm output ]=================== Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[printers]" Processing section "[print$]" Processing section "[data]" Loaded services file OK.

Please look at the patch in bug 5375, this looks very similar: https://bugzilla.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=3246&action=view Volker
