allow unauthenticated access to samba


I know this sounds like a weird question, but I would like to allow unauthenticated access to a samba server. It bound to a VPN interface, so no one can access it unless they are already connected using a private key.

What is the option to allow any user free access to the samba server?

Thanks,

David

The Samba 3 by example book has an example where they do the same thing. You can download the book from the samba.org site or you may have a samba-doc package that installs the books to /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/.
