can you use the force user on the share?
from man smb.conf:
force user (S)
This specifies a UNIX user name that will be assigned as the
default user for all users connecting to this service. This is
useful for sharing files. You should also use it carefully as
using it incorrectly can cause security problems.
This user name only gets used once a connection is established.
Thus clients still need to connect as a valid user and supply a
valid password. Once connected, all file operations will be per-
formed as the "forced user", no matter what username the client
connected as. This can be very useful.
I do not know why this won't work, but have never tried it.
