Configuring anonymous public shares with Samba 3

# prepare directory
sudo mkdir /opt/share
sudo chown nobody:nogroup .
# install samba
sudo aptitude install samba
# add samba share
sudo sh -c "cat >> /etc/samba/smb.conf <<EOF
[share]
comment = Public Shares
browsable = yes
path = /opt/share
public = yes
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
EOF
# configure anonymous access,
sudo sed -i '/^\[global\]$/a \ guest account = nobody' /etc/samba/smb.conf
