I have an established server initially created with CentOS 6.5 and updated weekly. Last week there was a massive update that I believe upgraded my server to 6.6.

I had a number of issues after the upgrade—like my firewall being turned on and blocking all inbound ports. (I have an external firewall.)
I’ve fixed all the issues created by this upgrade except for one.

I have a number of samba shares on this server used by some WinXP boxes on my network and two other linux (Fedora) workstations. Since the upgrade, guest/nobody write access no longer works. The smb.conf file is unchanged.

The config file below has been unchanged since my initial installation. Anyone know how I can restore guest write access? Guest can read, but not write to the share.
