    No Password Required Dolphin Network Share?

    I installed Kubuntu and decided to use the share feature in Dolphin, it installed Samba and seemed to work fine.
    However I can access the shares on Kodi or my phone without having to enter a username and password, is there a way to set it up so that a user has to enter a user and password?

    EDIT
    Installed gadmin-samba, I was then able to login with a password on Kodi, however I cannot access the shares via my phone, I keep getting access denied

    I think you have to unintuitively Allow Guests, then adjust the settings
    Something like this?

    I may have then un-checked the Allow Guests button.
    In any case, in my test, the password did not work, but it definitely disabled open access
    SMB can be a pita, and the KDE sharing applet sometimes does not help.

      Thanks claydoh, I ended up stopping the sharing of folders via Dolphin.

      I then nuked Samba and reinstalled using this:

      In Ubuntu 18.04/20.04:
      remove:

      sudo apt -y remove --purge samba samba-common cifs-utils smbclient sudo rm -rf /var/cache/samba /etc/samba /run/samba /var/lib/samba /var/log/samba install:

      sudo apt -y install samba samba-common smbclient cifs-utils winbind

      Then used this tutorial to set everything up

      Seems to be working for everything now
