June 13, 201214 yr How do I create an anonymous samba share in 5.0? or do I have to make mods around the default samba config?
June 13, 201214 yr What do you mean by anonymous? Normally the Samba share you create should be public, so everyone can connect and write/read to it.
June 16, 201214 yr Author If the share is public no login/password is required. what about allowing "no login" for an existing samba share with read-only privileges? i.e. security = private user1= read/write user2= read/write guest=read only
June 17, 201214 yr I could be guessing, but I think what flush is after is a possibilty to login without username/password and get read only access and another way of login with username and password giving write access.

After looking at /etc/samba/smb.conf, I ended up creating /boot/config/smb-extra.conf with the following: guest account = nobody [media-public] path = /mnt/user/media guest ok = yes read only = yes /mnt/user/media already exists as another samba share with the user-specific privileges This gave me the regular "media" share with user-specific privileges and "media-public" that is open to anyone within the network, read-only.

A couple observations: a) I think "secure" is the mode you want. b) These kinds of changes to the samba configuration file may have consequences that would greatly complicate integration with new features, plugins, etc, and probably cause developers to not want to give you any support
