Same issue, that the cause is:
security = USER
in smb.conf file. If you change it to:
security = SHARE
you will get same behavior as 1.06. But I don't know how to persistent it.

Steps:
1. Telnet or ssh into your DNS-323
2. pkill smbd
3. pkill nmbd
4. edit smb.conf and change "security = USER" to "security = SHARE"
5. /usr/sbin/samba/smbd -D
6. /usr/sbin/samba/nmbd -D

and you should be done. As I remember "security = SHARE" causing some other issue, and "security = USER" should be better, and on my another Linux box, "security = USER" never cause this "guest" not able to access issue. Not issue why it causing issue in DNS-323.

Sorry for not getting back... Life got in the way of testing :) I still need to test things out but wanted to make a comment to say my security is set to user so I'm still not sure why mine is the only one working. Hopefully I'll be able to see if I can break mine in the next day or 2.

Just Noticed something else with Windows 7

I can't set the "Hide" attribute to a file in windows.
Well the checkbox is there and I can check it, but it wont "stick"
after an OK or APPLY

so I check the users permissions on the folders.
This is what I have... is it normal?


From where is windows getting this uers? They are not even setup
in Windows... not as users or Groups
I'm looking under "Local Users and Groups" in "Computer Management"

So no one found a way to hide files in the DNS-323
from Windows... without having to install any 3rd party software like funplug ?

What exactly does this accomplish?  Does this return the behavior to allow both password protected and anonymous shares?

Does this survive over reboots?  Probably not over a firmware upgrade, right?  Where is the smb.conf file located?  What editor is available with ffp to edit the file?

So no one from D-Link can confirm that the authentication method for the DNS-323 was changed between v 1.06 and v1.08b8 ?

Well, I can confirm it changed!  On the earlier versions, I could have anonymous shares and password protected shares.  That no longer works, if you have a password protected share, anonymous shared don't work.

By what I have read if there are no users permissions set than 'ALL' means that anyone can access the shares, but if user permissions are set than 'ALL' means all defined users only can access the shares?

Maybe D-Link can perform some programing magic and have a check box that allows 'ALL' to mean open access or open access restricted to defined users.

This would solve this annoying issue and give the owner of the device control back. As it is I am still on v1.04 and am not upgrading until I have to.  :-\

This isn't a specific issue for the NAS. Linux/Unix file attributes are stored differently to Windows ones. Hidden files in Linux filesystems are represented by a "." prefix.

See here http://oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch05_03.html

...It is possible to achieve but it could cause further confusion.
