When security=share, anybody who accesses the share must have an account
on the Linux box. The local username must match his machine's name.
Use useradd to add the account locally, then smbadduser to add it to
Samba's user list, and finally smbpasswd to set the user's password.
Samba can't use the system defined password because Linux stores
passwords with one-way encryption, and the SMB encrypted-password system
requires the server to know the unencrypted password.
Access to any share is determined by whether the local user has access
rights to the particular share.
To actually share any directory, check the sample provided in the
smb.conf file. Look for the one marked "public".
