There are tons of documentation for samba. Even in the ports-tarball.
Have a look into the doc-directory. Read "man 5 smb.conf". As a hint,
have a special look at the following keywords in "man 5 smb.conf":

guest account = 

Give it the username of an unprivileged user

security = share

security = user will always ask for passwords

public = yes in the shares you want to be publicly available
