(Get the code!)
I went to share a single folder inside of my home directory only to find that I could access my entire home directory. As stated, this should not be the default behavior.
As far as authentication, maybe it would be best to allow anonymous access to shared folders (with readonly) permission by default.
And, a gui to take care of smbpasswd is needed. It took me a while to figure out that I needed to set up a samba user in order to access my shares. This should all be handled by a gui inside of "Shared folder settings."
