Like John, I fought long and hard to get user share working. I read Everything I could, including buying Samba3 by Example. In the end I admitted defeat and went back to shares.
If you really want a public share with no authentication at all, share mode is probably the best approach. If everyone that should have access is logged into a windows domain anyway, you can transparently accept this authentication and either keep their user id (as for a home directory share) or force it or their group id into something that gives common r/w access to a share. You can also do the latter with explicit logins against uses in the smbpasswd file.
This is becoming a real hijack, which I didn't intend. However,
All users that are intended to be able to share have a user account on the samba server. All users have samba passwords matching their login passwords, whether in windows or linux. I couldn't even get their home directories to show using 'user' mode.

It is possible, because I am doing it. I have share=user and have home directories viewable by the user and the admin (me). I have various departmental shares that each department can access and no one else (but the admin -- again me). Even shares that aren't browsable, so no one even knows they are there if not given access. And I have several public shares, some read-write, some read only with install files and such. USers that try to access a share they have no permission to get the logon box, but it will never actually auth because their rights don't allow it.
Want to kindly post you Samba Version and config file please???
