<p dir="ltr">If you want a basic share and no password you could create a share that is guest access only and then force an internal user and group. I do not currently have a Linux file server up and running or I would share my conf file with you. Interestingly enough I have had the best success digesting options and settings for samba using webmin. Better than any GUI tool by far.</p>

# Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.<br>
#<br>
#<br>
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the<br>
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed<br>
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which<br>
# are not shown in this example<br>
#<br>
# Some options that are often worth tuning have been included as<br>
# commented-out examples in this file.<br>
# - When such options are commented with ";", the proposed setting<br>
# differs from the default Samba behaviour<br>
# - When commented with "#", the proposed setting is the default<br>
# behaviour of Samba but the option is considered important<br>
# enough to be mentioned here<br>
#<br>
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command<br>
# "testparm" to check that you have not made any basic syntactic<br>
# errors.<br>
# A well-established practice is to name the original file<br>
# "smb.conf.master" and create the "real" config file with<br>
# testparm -s smb.conf.master >smb.conf<br>
# This minimizes the size of the really used smb.conf file<br>
# which, according to the Samba Team, impacts performance<br>
# However, use this with caution if your smb.conf file contains nested<br>
# "include" statements. See Debian bug #483187 for a case<br>
# where using a master file is not a good idea.<br>
