hi there,
i've got a great example smb.conf file for you that is attached. I created it
for a non-profit organization that I was helping out last year. It worked
great.
you'll want to pay close attention to the umask settings on the create mode
and directory mask, as well as the valid users and and force group
settings.... this is what you're asking about.
btw... pay attention to the bind interfaces line(s). this allows you to bind
samba to a specified interface.. like your LAN.
I don't think that guest access is that great of an idea, but you are the
sysadmin and you know whats best for your setup ; )
I strongly recommend reading the samba docs... they really do help a great
deal.
good luck
