I'd be surprised if it's even possible.  Samba needs to create
files as the user that connects to the share.  If you run it as
non-root, how could it create and access files as other users?

I suppose it might theoretically be possible if you run a
configuration with only guest users, but I doubt Samba allows
for that.
