This is from the RHEL documentation concerning security=share in a smb.conf file: --------------------------------------------------------------------- 14.4.2. Share-Level Security

With share-level security, the server accepts only a password without an explicit username from the client. The server expects a password for each share, independent of the username. There have been recent reports that Microsoft Windows clients have compatibility issues with share-level security servers. Samba developers strongly discourage use of share-level security. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
