[Samba] samba 4, openldap and an public folder

[Romain Pelissier]

Hi,
I have tried and spend some times to find the answer myself but it couldn't
find anything that could solve my issue, so I hope someone could help me
with this, and I am sure this could benefit to other samba users also.
OK, here is the story:
I currently use samba (smbd -V: Version 4.2.4-6.3-3503-SUSE-SLE_12-x86_64)
I have a server where samba is installed and another one where openldap is
running (on a opensuse 42.1). It works as a workgroup and wins server.
Everything works find. Now my goal is to add a public folder where
everybody on the network (even people that do not have an account on the
openldap server) could use.
Unfortunalty, it seems that I could have a public folder where no
authentication is required, a users/profiles folder where authenticated
users are redirected to there user's home folder but not both at the same
time using the configuration below:

(note that I have added manually the "Public" section, other part of the
config have mostly been created by yast at installation time, I have only
tweak some settings)
