HowTo: mount a USB hdd in Debian and share it for all users without authentication

All these I needed to do on my RaspberryPI so that I can share a mounted USB drive to the entire network and to be accessible fully without any authentication.
I know, not very smart, but try to configure a TV, 2 iPads, 1 iPhone, 1 Android and one Internet radio to access it.

 

My USB Hdd is /dev/sda1 and it is mounted on /media/usb

 

/etc/samba/smb.conf

security = share
guest account = nobody

[media]
comment= Media
read only = no
path = /media
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
guest only = yes
guest account = nobody

 

/etc/fstab

/dev/sda1 /media/usb ntfs noatime,users,uid=0,gid=0,fmask=0111,dmask=0 0 2

 

Note:

This will allow all rights on the /media/usb to all users.

Don’t forget to restart the system or the services.
