	This article explains how to set up a simple samba server to have a
	CIFS /
	Windows shared folder accessible by everyone. This is useful in some
	cases but
	samba configuration is not straightforward when you need it for a one
	shot time
	or this particular case.

	The important covered case here is that no user are needed. The
	trick comes
	from `map to guest = Bad User` configuration line in `[global]`
	section. This
	option will automatically map an unknown user or no provided user to
	the guest
	account.

	Here is a simple `/etc/samba/smb.conf` file to share /home/samba to
	everyone, except map to guest and the shared folder, it's the stock
	file with
	comments removed.

	[global]
	workgroup = WORKGROUP
	server string = Samba Server
	server role = standalone server
	log file = /var/log/samba/smbd.%m
	max log size = 50
	dns proxy = no
	map to guest = Bad User

	browseable = yes
	path = /home/samba
	writable = yes
	guest ok = yes
	public = yes

	If you want to set up this on OpenBSD, it's really easy:

	# pkg_add samba
	# rcctl enable smbd nmbd
	# vi /etc/samba/smb.conf (you can use previous config)
	# mkdir -p /home/samba
	# chown nobody:nobody /home/samba
	# rcctl start smbd nmbd

	And you are done.
