[K12OSN] Samba File permissions

[Jim Kronebusch]

In the webmin module I had to go the to Security and Access Control for
the Share and check that it is writable.  I must have checked this when
I created the share not understanding this would override the linux
permissions.  I also added the 2 directives as you stated for future
security.  

Thanks

There are some circumstances that let samba connect as a guest user
instead of the one you expect.  If you set 'guest ok = no' or 'public =
no' on the share you can eliminate this.  It also helps if the user is
logged into the windows box under the same name as the unix login that
they should be using for the connection.
