[K12OSN] open samba share

[Doug Simpson]

Noted, and considered. . .

security =  doesn't make it do what I want.

I will just about have to use it in security = server mode because the 
share has a root pre-exec that creates a folder in the share on-the-fly 
based on the user's login name as needed and then deletes it when the user 
logs off with a postexec.

I wonder if I joined this server to the domain if it would work as 
expected because authentication would take place on the (Winders) server, 
instead of having to authenticate to the linus/samba one. . .

May pursue it from that angle, too. . .
