-In some scenarios, expecially on [[Standalone_server|standalone servers]], it might be a requirement, to provide a share, that is accessable without authentication (anonymous access).
-Two smb.conf directives are required in the [global] section, to allow anonymous access on shares in the later step:
- [global]
-    workgroup = MYWORKGROUP    ## Keep this two lines on their current value, if
-    security = user            ## you're doing this on a host that is part of a domain
-    map to guest = Bad user
-    guest account = nobody
-For the share, that should be accessable without login, use the following configuration:
- [MyShare]
-    comment = Anonymous Samba Share
-    path = /srv/samba/anonymous_share/
-    guest ok = yes
-    read only = yes|no
-    # Optionally you can map the anonymous user to a local user/group, if necessary.
-    force user = myuser
-    force group = mygroup
