There is another way to "skin this kitty" - in the smb.conf have a line
like this:
include = /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf.%L
now you can have multiple conf files with whatever security setting on the
file / share name level thusly:
#
#smb.conf.tnhpub
#images for public viewing
#new style - password not required

   security = share
   guest account = smbnull

#============================ Share Definitions
==============================

[images]
   comment = Image Directory
   browseable = yes
   public = yes
   writable = no
   path = /a2/images

and another:
#smb.conf.turtle - old style, password required
#
        security = user

#============================ Share Definitions
==============================
[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
   valid users = %S
   writable = no
[ups]
   comment = Home Directory
   browseable = no
   valid users = fedex
   writable = yes
   path = /mnt/fedex/ups


for my efforts i get 2 separate shares: "turtle" and "tnhpub" user and
share security respectively.
