           Summary: handbook: reference to outdated samba "security =
                    shared" setting

Samba no longer has a "security = shared" setting, including on the version
used by FreeBSD 11.

>From https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-samba.html:

"The most common settings are security = share and security = user... In share
level security, clients do not need to log onto the server with a valid
username and password before attempting to connect to a shared resource. This
was the default security model for older versions of Samba."

Ideally this would be replaced by some instructions for creating a public share
without "security = share", maybe with "map to guest = Bad User" (I'm not clear
on the details so did not attempt a patch myself).
