[Samba] Samba Share with user and no password

[basti]

Thank you Rowland.

I will try it.

Yes you are right. it's not securely.
I think this type of setup terrible this days. No central user
management, no secure at all. It a customer requirement. Switch to AD is
not on purpose at the moment.

Best Regards
