[Samba] "map to guest" in share definition?

[Michael Heydon]

As I understand it, the client is authenticated before it specifies 
which share it wants (except under share level security) so having map 
to guest as a per share setting isn't possible.

Couldn't you just specify guest ok = no on the other shares? what issues 
with home directories?

We have several shares with guest access, several without and a homes 
share and haven't had any problems.
