Real easy. We did it to create a "quarantine share" for Windows AV 
agents to move viruses to. The share is world-writable - but not 
readable by anyone

You simply create a share and set the following smb.conf settings

[sharename]
  path = /dir
  read only = No
        create mask = 0333
        directory mask = 0333
        guest ok = Yes

Then if the actual directory is 1777, then anyone can write to it. Of 
course you can always fiddle with those perms to suit...
