[Bug 490380] Re: Please set option inherit owner by default on guest-enabled SMB shares

[Thierry Carrez]

Yes, by default in samba, files created by the guest user are created
under the account specified in configuration under "guest account", by
default user "nobody". Creating them under the rights of the owner of
the directory is introducing security risks that are not appropriate for
a default configuration, in addition to diverging from upstream
defaults. The use case of a totally unauthenticated writable share where
files are created under an existing account is valid, but not for a
default configuration. Setting "guest account = fabio" or "inherit
owner" in the configuration file seems appropriate in that case.
