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.
