I have an OSX machine which has been connected as Guest to a Samba share on my Ubuntu machine. It's no longer connecting. When I click 'Connect to Server...' in Finder, and enter smb://server/anonymous, it gives the message:
There was a problem connecting to the server “server”.
Check the server name or IP address, and then try again.
If you continue to have problems, contact your system
administrator.
However, I can connect as a registered user on the Ubuntu box but can't edit the files because they are owned by the nobody user.
I haven't altered any settings, just haven't tried to connect in a week or so. Any ideas what might have caused this sudden change?
Additional Info:
smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server %v
netbios name = server
security = user
map to guest = bad user
dns proxy = no
#===== Share Definitions =====
[Anonymous]
path = /mnt/raid1
browsable = yes
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
On the Ubuntu box:
$ smbclient //server/anonymous -U nobody -N
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.3.8-Ubuntu]
smb: \>
And:
$ netstat -atn
Active Internet connections (servers and established)

On the Mac:
$ mount_smbfs -N //nobody:@server/anonymous /test/
mount_smbfs: server rejected the connection: Authentication error
So it looks like I can connect to the share on the Ubuntu machine but not on the Mac.
I've also tried connecting with another Mac but it's the same outcome.
