Well, as I read this, you have guest ok=Yes and security=share. That means,
I believe, that when a user logs onto that share, without asking a password
the user is assigned the guest account, which I suppose defaults to nobody.
I think you have to read about passwords and samba, about which I know
almost nothing.
