[Samba] can't write Samba share as anonymous

I'm not sure I have understood, I'm mounting the share as "urca" user, 
which is not a known user.
Although I'm setting smb.conf so that for guest user it uses the 
privileges of the known user "andrea"
Could you please advice on what I should set for "guest account" in 
smb.conf?

Thanks
Andrea
