+Configuration of a read-only data server that EVERYONE can access is very simple.
+Here is the smb.conf file that will do this. Assume that all the reference documents
+are stored in the directory /export, that the documents are owned by a user other than
+nobody. No home directories are shared, that are no users in the <filename>/etc/passwd</filename>
+Unix system database. This is a very simple system to administer.

+In the above example the machine name is set to REFDOCS, the workgroup is set to the name
+of the local workgroup so that the machine will appear in with systems users are familiar
+with. The only password backend required is the "guest" backend so as to allow default
+unprivilidged account names to be used. Given that there is a WINS server on this network
+we do use it.
