Samba share configuration without permission restrictions (smb.conf example)


This is an example of a samba share that gives full root permissions to the share, no matter what. This is not a recommended way to share if you are in a non-trusty network or connected directly to the internet, since anyone gets full access and permission to your files and folders. This is just an example to show how a samba share with minimal restrictions can be done.

First off, set the security mode to .share.

security = user
map to guest = Bad User

The share definition setup:

[share]
   path = /home/tux
   browseable = yes
   read only = no
   public = yes
   writable = yes
   guest ok = yes
   guest only = yes
   guest account = root
   force user = root
   force group = root
   create mask = 0777
   directory mask = 0777
