    Default Disable guest SMB account on DM800HD SE?

    Hi all

    Apologies if this is a stupid question, I'm quite new to the 800 SE

    I've noticed my Dreambox (pre-flashed with a digitalworldz image) is viewable on my network and you're able to connect to it with a guest account. Does anyone know how to remove the guest so just a proper user/pass is required?

    Thanks!

    Why not just change the password?
    As root type:

    passwd guest

    and type in a new password

    You could delete the line in /etc/passwd that has the guest account on it as well.

    Thanks for the response

    When I attempt to do this via telnet it states that there is no user 'Guest'

    However, I can connect to the Dreambox via my Mac without entering a password and it states I'm logged in as 'Guest'

    Thanks

    Change this line in /etc/samba/smb.conf:

    guest ok = yes

    change it to

    guest ok = no

    and restart samba
