[K12OSN] open samba share

[Doug Simpson]

I am wanting a dumb share available without having to have usernames and 
passwords entered on the linux server, but still have the smb set up with 
security = server. . 

Not possible is it?

I guess I will just have to add the users on the linux server. . . RATS!
