Created attachment 1158900 [details]
Patch to correct example

Description of problem:

The "staff" example describes a share that is read-only except for users in the staff group, however the actual implementation included "writable = yes", which makes the share world-writable.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
samba-4.4.3-1.fc24.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Read the default smb.conf
2.
3.

Actual results:
The example produces a world-writable share

Expected results:
The example should match its description.

Additional info:

Patch attached.

Well, 'writeable = no' should be set here, but it isn't world writeable until the directory allows write access for others!
