Issue:
How can I configure Samba for unrestricted access?
Resolution:
This is the simplest setup for Samba. It will allow anyone with network access to the server to access shares without having to have a valid account/password. The following smb.conf can be used to accomplish this, please remember to replace EXAMPLE with your workgroup/domain and MACHINE_NAME with the hostname of your machine.

/etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = EXAMPLE
netbios name = MACHINE_NAME
security = share
browseable = yes

##example share.  /home/share is available for all to read and write
[share]
comment = wide open samba share
path = /home/share
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
