Hi Shlomo , Please Remember that smb has a different model of perms that Gnu/Linux, so does the uid assigned by the OS - in fact if you will try to assign Windows permissions to a Samba share you are guaranteed to have a bad time. I found that the best practise when doing smb/cifs share (even windows to windows) is ALWAYS have a password.
When you share between a pi and Gnu/Linux machines , sometimes it is easier to just use sshfs and nfs to share data than using SMB.
