-| I had that same question earlier, and looking through the man page for
-| smb.conf, I think I found the answer. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong) ..
-| Assuming you are using security=user, Samba must have a user to authenticate
-| as to access anything, so you have to set guest account = <some user> (I
-| think it defaults to nobody, but I'm not sure) and the permissions on that
-| directory must be accessible by <some user>. You must also set map to guest
-| = [bad user] or [bad password] (I think this defaults to "never", so the
-| server will never see a user it doesn't recognize) .. from the man page:
-| Note that this parameter is needed to set up
-| "Guest" share services when using security modes
-| other than share. This is because in these modes
-| the name of the resource being requested is *not*
-| sent to the server until after the server has suc
-| cessfully authenticated the client so the server
-| cannot make authentication decisions at the correct
-| time (connection to the share) for "Guest" shares.
-|
Curious about this too, but I was afraid if I did this everyone (even
from the internet) would have permission to that share. Would it be so?
