Bug Description
If one wants their samba shared folders to be accessed from a Windows machine,
samba must be set to 'Share' security type instead of 'User'. User requires a
UNIX login name, which cannot be provided in a Windows machine. There could be
an option to switch security modes for the user's network situation.
