I have "security - SHARE" in mine, but I also have fixed IP addresses in  
the local network, so mine includes
hosts allow = 192.168.0 127.
This restricts access to only hosts with those IP addresses.


I also have
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd


Instead of "read only = no", I have "writable = yes"

Hope this helps...
