Samba on Raspberry PI

[Shlomo Solomon]

Thanks - the file you sent was very similar to what I already had. 

But in the meantime, I found a really good article about using webmin
over SSH to control various aspects of the PI and after playing around,
I found I could allow null passwords. Since the PI is behind NAT on my
home network and meant only for family members, that's good enough for
me so my problem is solved. If I ever decide I want access from
outside, I'll have to re-visit the issue.
