This is easily achievable with security = user.
- -----smb.conf--------
[global]
map to guest = bad user
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
- ----smbusers-----
foo = *
That's my configuration recommendation for an guest
file server. I think most people that user security
= share do so out of habit from old releases.
