[Samba] Wiki: Standalone server

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai Marc, 

First best wishes and happy new year. 

This one looks great, but your missing one thing imo. 

You can do the same without a local user when you change 
        map to guest = Bad User
to
        map to guest = Bad Password

Which gives also the advantage, that you dont need to have a local user on a windows system, which popups up with a password and where lots of peoople have problems with. 

And offcourse the share needs 777 and not 775, 
or rights forced from share ( which i use at home ) 

So my suggestion

2A) A basic smb.conf	( which user rights/acl, proceed to chapter 3 ) 
2B) A basic smb.conf 	( a open server, no rights, all mapped to nobody ) 
You can still use the acl on linux to force rights, but a use mapping must be possible between windows and samba. So windows and samba user/pass must be the same. 
	
When do you use something like this. 
For example my kodi server has open shares. 
Like : 
\\kodi\media  ( open share. ) 
\\kodi\backup ( open share with acl. ) 
I have a match user/pass for this one. 

And just a question, have you tried to access the server from win7+ 
With only \\servername 
I bet you get a popup to authenticate.. user Guest is disabled in windows.
So the user mapping between the pc and samba goes wrong. 


Just my thoughts.

Greetz, 

Louis
