It's actually very easy, but all Windows users 
will be logged as a single user ("nobody", by 
default)
 which is fine in the home setup I intended:

[global]
security = user
;defaults to "nobody"
map to guest = bad user
[
]
[myshare]
path = /usr/share/myshare
guest ok = yes
writeable=yes

Apparently, it's correct:

Yes, it's behind a firewall. I figured it doesn't hurt. Does it?
