Hi all,

I struggle to setup a simple guest share with read and write access.

Samba version is 4.23.6 on FreeBSD 15.0. The underlying FS is ZFS.
I can write to the shared dataset as the nobody user:

---
su -m nobody -c "touch /ssd/share/test/foo"
ls -l /ssd/share/test/foo
-rw-r--r--  1 nobody nobody 0 May  9 11:39 /ssd/share/test/foo
---

This is the Samba configuration:

---
root@sylve-dev:~ # testparm -s
Load smb config files from /usr/local/etc/smb4.conf
Loaded services file OK.
Weak crypto is allowed by GnuTLS (e.g. NTLM as a compatibility fallback)

Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

# Global parameters
[global]
map to guest = Bad User
server string = FreeBSD SMB Server
workgroup = MYWORKGROUP
idmap config * : backend = tdb


[Test]
create mask = 0644
force group = nobody
force user = nobody
guest ok = Yes
guest only = Yes
path = /ssd/share/test
read only = No
---

Whenever I mount the share from my Mac (MacOS Tahoe 26.3.1) the network
volume is read only.

Any hints greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Patrick
