SMB Share: Guest, no password

[scarbrtj]

Version: 25.10.0.1 - Goldeye

To be able to record from a Blackmagic Hyperdeck to my TrueNAS, I need to enable password-less guest access. I.e., I need a user “guest” with SMB access and no password, I guess.

I do not know how to do this.

That could be a problem. Apparently guest access has been disabled with 25.10

SMB guest access disabled in 25.10?

As soon as I updated to 25.10, guest shares stopped working, and there is no longer an Allow Guest Access option in the UI I suppose this have been done on purpose, but I’m surprised it is not mentioned on the release notes. Is it intended to no longer being able to allow guest access to SMB shares?

I fortunately was able to figure this out.

Ordinarily Hyperdeck ( HyperDeck Studio – Tech Specs | Blackmagic Design ) 4K doesn’t allow inputting username etc because it just has a knob on the front.

But you can telnet in, in cmd prompt in Windows:

telnet 192.168.7.215 9993

Then,

nas add:
url: smb://192.168.7.45/ssdhyperdeck/HYPERDECK
username: hyperdeck
password: hyperdeck

Then,

nas select:
url: smb://192.168.7.45/ssdhyperdeck/HYPERDECK

(I made a user ‘hyperdeck’ with the password ‘hyperdeck’)

Then, the Hyperdeck can record across its 10G ethernet to my TrueNAS.
