If you really want a public share with no authentication at all, share
mode is probably the best approach. If everyone that should have access
is logged into a windows domain anyway, you can transparently accept
this authentication and either keep their user id (as for a home
directory share) or force it or their group id into something that gives
common r/w access to a share. You can also do the latter with explicit
logins against uses in the smbpasswd file.
This is becoming a real hijack, which I didn't intend. However,
All users that are intended to be able to share have a user account on the
samba server. All users have samba passwords matching their login passwords,
whether in windows or linux. I couldn't even get their home directories to
show using 'user' mode.
If they are logged into a windows domain, they will send the domain
credentials, like it or not - and you really want the windows login to
match the linux name for home directories to work. If you set
security = server
and
password server = your_domain_controller
(which I think needs to be resolvable in dns after adding your search
domains)
everything should just be transparent.
