Just one other thing, As far as I can see, no one on the list said use
a Unix domain member, they just suggested using a valid username and
password on your standalone server. Something like 'sambauser%sambapass'

It was you who suggested to switch from anonymous server to a domain
member, way earlier, - more than a year ago when I first asked about
how to run an application from a samba share and be able to update
files.
