I recently upgraded my debian jesse to 8.6. All of a sudden all samba

flash of notes flying by when samba was upgraded, but do not recall
what it is.
BTW, I can mount if I provide an actual valid user with password. Only
guest access does not work.
Linux host 3.16.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.36-1+deb8u2

Samba Version: 2:4.2.14+dfsg-0+deb8u2
Guest access to the following share fails after the upgrade:
[data]
path = /data
create mask = 0755
directory mask = 0755
public = yes
browseable = yes
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
If it is not too much trouble, please copy me your responses
Thanks

Check to see that smb.conf was not replaced. If it was, the previous
version will be called smb.conf.dpkg-dist or smb.conf.ucf-dist. You will
have to compare them with your smb.conf file and merge any differences.
