This is easily achievable with security = user.

- -----smb.conf--------
[global]
	map to guest = bad user
	username map = /etc/samba/smbusers

- ----smbusers-----
foo = *


That's my configuration recommendation for an guest
file server.  I think most people that user security
= share do so out of habit from old releases.
