So I added:
map to guest = "my username"
to [global] and
guest ok = Yes
to [printers].
Now smb will not start. I am guessing that is because there is no
password for "my username". However, trying to set it does not work
(perhaps because of the space in the username?):
>sudo smbpasswd -a "my username"
