            Bug ID: 252893
           Summary: handbook: reference to outdated samba "security =3D
                    shared" setting
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: cm@sdf.org

Samba no longer has a "security =3D shared" setting, including on the versi=
on
used by FreeBSD 11.

>From https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-samba.html:

"The most common settings are security =3D share and security =3D user... I=
n share
level security, clients do not need to log onto the server with a valid
username and password before attempting to connect to a shared resource. Th=
is
was the default security model for older versions of Samba."

Ideally this would be replaced by some instructions for creating a public s=
hare
without "security =3D share", maybe with "map to guest =3D Bad User" (I'm n=
ot clear
on the details so did not attempt a patch myself).
