RHEL7 - Samba
I'm having trouble with a Linux Samba share after migrating a system from RHEL 5 to RHEL 7.

My current configuration is below.

Code:
[global]
workgroup = DOCS
security = share
[data]
comment = Data
path = /export
read only = yes
guest ok = yes
browsable = yes

In RHEL7 the service will fail to start. I can get the service to start if I change it to "security = user", but that's not what I want because it will force users trying to connect for logins. I need this share to be completely open, and Windows users can't be prompted for a username or password whatsoever. Has anyone run into this, or know of a work around?

I see in the new man page that "security = user" is deprecated. However, I must have the share completely wide open to guests.

Thanks

vfs_acl_xattr

VFS_ACL_XATTR(8)					    System Administration tools 					  VFS_ACL_XATTR(8)

NAME

       vfs_acl_xattr - Save NTFS-ACLs in Extended Attributes (EAs)

SYNOPSIS

       vfs objects = acl_xattr

DESCRIPTION

       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

       The vfs_acl_xattr VFS module stores NTFS Access Control Lists (ACLs) in Extended Attributes (EAs). This enables the full mapping of Windows
       ACLs on Samba servers.

       The ACLs are stored in the Extended Attribute security.NTACL of a file or directory. This Attribute is not listed by getfattr -d filename.
       To show the current value, the name of the EA must be specified (e.g.  getfattr -n security.NTACL filename).

       This module is stackable.

OPTIONS

       acl_xattr:ignore system acls = [yes|no]
	   When set to yes, a best effort mapping from/to the POSIX ACL layer will not be done by this module. The default is no, which means that
	   Samba keeps setting and evaluating both the system ACLs and the NT ACLs. This is better if you need your system ACLs be set for local
	   or NFS file access, too. If you only access the data via Samba you might set this to yes to achieve better NT ACL compatibility.

AUTHOR

       The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
