[K12OSN] open samba share

[Doug Simpson]

Is there a way to make samba add users on-the-fly as needed including 
password?

If so, I could set that up and when they logged in it would create their 
account. And, if it can be set to creat-on-the-fly, then it should be able 
to be set to delete-on-the-fly as well, cleaning up whatever mess that is 
created by the user when they were on there.
