SMB Sharing, my entire "username"/"account" is visible from Windows 7

I have a windows sharing enabled, my username's public folder,
but when I view the files share on the network, the entire user account is visible,
I even manage to copy files to the "Desktop" of the mac.
Could this be due to me renaming my "account".

me too, help!

Can't print to a shared printer on 10.6.8 iMac from Windows 7 iMac

I am creating another discussion as I made some changes and hoping PAHU-san will be able to solve this problem. I am using a Mac OSX 10.6.8 iMac and Windows7 iMac. I installed the driver Canon LBP6750 UFRII on each machine and both can print. However, printing from Windows 7 iMac to a shared printer on the Mac OSX 10.6.8 does not print anything and has no errors.
Here are some logs. If you need additional information, please let me know.

PAHU, Thank you for looking into this. I have been working on this for a long time, and hoping that purchasing these two Canon printers are not a mistake. My iMac 10.6.8 is not directly connected to a printer by USB, but through protocol IPP (I have also tested with HP Jetdirect). I am doing this because I would like the iMac 10.6.8 to be a print server and have client machines (iMac 10.6.8 clients and iMac Windows 7) print through the print server. I have tried the following on the iMac 10.6.8 and have the following errors

SMB Sharing - Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 - Windows XP 64

Hi,
we are sharing a (metaSAN) volume via SMB and AFP from an Xserve with Mac OS X Server 10.5.8. Everything seems to be fine except SMB/CIFS connections from clients with Windows XP x64 to the Xserve: when copying files from the server to the client the process suddenly gets very slow, it stucks... Sometimes it is copying continously. AFP/SMB connections from Mac OS X clients are working fine...
Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Martin.

I don't have a solution for you. But I do remember reading about this one. Apparently what happens is that beneath the surface, the connection attempt is repeated on failure, using differnet authentication protocols. And so one user login attempt with a bad password, leads to three attempts beneath the surface, and "the boot". But unfortunately I don't remember what the solution is, as I was researching for a completely different issue when I read this.

SMB Sharing with Sharing Only Account

Is there any way to activate SMB sharing with a Sharing Only account? I've created a Sharing Only account but when I go into the Sharing prefs pane under SMB it only lists normal accounts, not the Sharing Only accounts.

I'm having a similar problem...only with FTP. I created several "Sharing Only" accounts and none of them are able to connect via FTP. I'm able to connect via FTP as a user with a standard account though.

SMB Sharing User?

Hello,
Since a good long while i've been working with a Macbook. Being a long term windows user i gradually took the opportunity to study on more OS's than just Windows. However, one of the few things i still havn't figured out is the SMB Sharing capability.
Let me sketch you an environment.
Leopard 10.5.5 (And somewhat below) Allows you to share folders, much like windows with policies on what a user can do in a folder et cetera.
When sharing a folder with Leopard, you go to File Sharing, toggle SMB on, and define an account you want people to use to get into the shared folder. Here, exactly lies my problem. With a guest account i am perfectly able to see the folder on a Windows computer.
Once i define a user account, let's take "Test" as a subtle one for now. The password would be easily set to "test" aswell. In the User Management interface i've defined a sharing account under the name Test.
This account will now show up at the File Sharing preference pane. I can select it, and attach permissions to it, such as "Test" may write in folder "X" but, "Everyone (also known as Guest, i suppose?)" May not see anything at all.
Once i did this, i am unable to at all get connection to the shared folder through Windows, but when i toggle "Everyone" to Read or Read/Write, i can see the folders perfectly clear once again.
My question is, How so i solve this problem. So that only an account "I" Define, may have access to the shared folder with the credentials "I" once again define?
Thanks in advance, and i hope to see your responses soon.
Rene

Can't solve your problem as we are in the middle of setting up a mac mini snow leopard server with a couple of macs (absolutely fine!) and a couple of PC's both running XP. One will connect but one won't. How do you connect/have your's set up to connect. The problem PC will see the share point in workgroups and allow to enter username and password, but won't mount the volume. so annoying!

SMB sharing shows ALL drives

There was very old unanswered question - https://discussions.apple.com/message/7609694#7609694
ML 10.8.2, sharing enabled. A single admin user (me) on ML
If I connect to Mac from Windows 7 machine I see all the drives attached to Mac (inc NTFS USB drives via Tuxera driver)
Not only they are visible, but thay are also accessible (RO)
Is that the way Mac SMB sharing behaves (it should NOT IMO)
Seb

I thought the problem was ACLs, but it was a directory name problem -- and I just completely overlooked it.
We had folders like this:
2005 photos
-> 01/05
->-> 01/13/05
The slashes are outside the SMB specs, so they simply didn't show. Now I guess I need to find a way to rename the folders in bulk, but I know what the problem is.

OSX 10.8 smb sharing

Hi, I have a big problem with smb sharing. Before I installes the OS X Mountain Lion I could connect to my Windows 7 computer to watch videos via smb (as Guest), but after the update I can not connect anymore. I did not change anything in computers and this happened. Has anybody else this problem? How to solve it?
Thank you
Larerin
P.S.: Why in system preferences->Sharing is not (when smb is enabled) that I should use smb://ipaddress but only \\ipaddress? Is not smb sharing broken?

If the Guest account is not enabled in Windows then you would not have been able to connect using the Guest account previously.
If you do use the Guest account from the Mac, is this the sort of message you get?
Also, if you do use the first name / password combination to authenticate, does the authenitcation box shudder when you press Connect or do you get some other message?

SMB Sharing Create Mask?

I am sharing a folder in my admin user (admin) account with Windows XP via built in SMB support of Leopard. I have created a standard user (smb) for accessing the share. The share user can read and write the shared folder.
However, when creating a new file from Windows then permissions is set like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 smb staff
========
PROBLEM: user admin not allowed to write files created by user smb
========
Is there some way of specifying a create mask like in smb.conf?

Yeah I don't know either. Especially seeing as the share definition is not present in any of the smb.conf files on my system.
However I did manage to get the required behavior with ACL's. I now have a shared folder in my admin account that can be accessed by a standard user from Windows. So, this way I don't have to type in my admin password on the Windows machine.
See: http://www.nerdlogger.com/2009/06/osx-105-how-to-create-public-share.html
Call me sentimental but I don't like the ACL method. I would have preferred something like a create mask. At least then I would have immediately seen who has what privileges by doing a simple "ls -la"

Sharing Address book between accounts...?

Hello,
Well, there are some contacts that the different account holders on my iMac have in common. How do I share these contacts between the different accounts?
Appreciate you help!
Lalli

Also, there was a product called MySync, which used the same syncing technology that Mac OS X uses to sync through .mac. It is now called SyncTogether. It allows syncing of accounts on the same Mac using Fast User Switching. It also appears to offer selective syncing, such as predetermined groups in Address Book.
From the features page;
Family Members 
At home, SyncTogether will make Address Book and iCal work for you in new ways. SyncTogether's selective syncing feature lets you choose individual Address Book groups and iCal calendars to sync with other family members' Macs. *Sync a common list of addresses without sharing your entire contact list.* Share individual iCal calendars to keep track of family events and schedules. SyncTogether allows each user to add or modify information, so Mom can add weekend plans from her Mac, and Dad and the kids will see the new plans following the next sync. SyncTogether can even synchronize information between multiple accounts on the same Mac, which is great for families that share a single computer.

Smb sharing packed up on 10.6.2?

Hi all,
So we recently deployed a shining new 10.6.2 mac mini OS X server, to replace our ruddy 10.3 server box, and after the initial upgrade, everything has been up and running perfectly.
Suddenly, and for no reason, it appears as though SMB sharing has stopped working. Although our network consists of 99% apple clients, we still require SMB file sharing because we have one or two indespensable windows machines on the network.
So again, suddenly no clients can connect to the server via SMB. Not just windows machines - OS X clients also cannot resolve a 'connect to smb://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd' request.
We've tried restarting the SMB server many times through Server Admin. Looking at the logs provided some interesting information, and this is listed below.
Again I'm not sure why this started happening. I should point out that when the problem started happening, i ran Disk Utility and it did find a hefty number of incorrect permissions. This has been rectified (through the usual repeated runs of 'repair disk permissions'... although the SMB problem persists.
Just to be sure there's no odd file system errors, I'm thinking about:
1)making a disk image of the entire drive,
2)backing the thing up
3)booting to another mac whilst connected in target disk mode
4)deleting the partitions and restoring the image.
but obviously, it sounds like a good amount of work. Any other way to get samba happening again? Again, see log below.
Thank you!

Cannot setup SMB sharing on Yosemite

I just did a clean install of Yosemite and am slowly recreating my previous setup. However I cannot get SMB sharing to work.
I turned File Sharing on, my Macbook drive is listed under shared folders then I go into Options and enable SMB. BUT in the section of this window called Windows File Sharing where I am supposed to select the account to be used for sharing (and then enter my password) my account is listed but greyed out and cannot be edited.
I booted back into my backup from before I reinstalled and the setup looks identical except the section is editable.
See screenshot (I have blanked out my account name but it is there). But see I cant click the On button - the whole section is greyed:
Is there something else I need to do to enable this section? Or is it a Yosemite issue?

Hi !
I had the same problem, and I fixed by changing the way the password works in Yosemite:
When I updated to Yosemite, I configured the appleID user and password. It seems Windows share is not working fine with this. Then I changed to "separate password" in "System Preferences"->"Users & Groups"->"Change Password". Once I change that, it worked.
I hope this works for you.

TS3981 After migration files are now shared between two user accounts. How can I combine them into one account?

After migration, from PC, files are now shared between two user accounts.I have to switch users to access files. How can I combine them into one account?

See Pondini's Transferring files from one User Account to another, for starters

Hi Apple Team, I would like to change the iCloud account on my iPhone, however it says I must 'delete the account' before doing so? Does this mean that I delete the entire existing account, or just delete it from my phone specifically?

Desperately need help with a networked printer and SMB sharing for windows

Complete xServ newbie here. I'm a windows/novell admin, with limited experience in Unix and Linux.
Against my advice, a client of mine that owns a small office of 20 people bought an XServG5 to act as a server for 20 mixed Windows PCs. File sharing services are working fine. I've created the users, set up groups and rights - that's all good.
I cannot get an SMB shared printer to work from the windows machines. They run through the network printer install just fine, it shows up online, etc. However, when print jobs are submitted they DO show up in the printer queue on the server, sit there for a while, and then get moved to the completed box.
They never print. There's not any indication that the job is even submitted to the printer. I can print to the printer just fine from the server itself, but the windows clients don't work, but they don't return an error message.
Print services are running on the server, I've configured the printer name to be less than 12 characters for the share, and indeed it does pop right up during the "add network printer" routine.
Ideas? I'm not even sure what questions I'm supposed to be asking, such is my ignorance of the OS. I do know that I followed the documentation to a T, and according to Apple this should work.
Thanks in advance for the help. I'm extremely frustrated.

We have the same problem. Our printer worked for about 2 years but failed similar to yours after a system update.
Can you go into the Windows service, Logs, Printer Service. Copy and paste the log here. What I am looking for is a line like lpr: CANNOTCONNECTCLIENT or something similar to this.
What I expect is that you have a problem where the cups defined printer is not usable. We can't get our problem fixed either - but am just curious if you have the same thing. We reloaded our server, applied all of the update and still cannot get it to work.
Again, I think it stems from the update.

SMB Sharing, my entire "username"/"account" is visible from Windows 7
