It is true, denying access to a particular user is difficult. But in our
case each person using their own machines and 'deny hosts = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
will work.

with 'security = share' and 'public = yes' (for guest access) there is no
need of passwords to access resources. After all we share only "shareble
resources", no?
