[solved]simple auth free samba share

I've followed the wiki to the best of my understanding, I've also looked at numerous examples of auth free configs on the net, but none of them are working for me.

here is my config:

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server
netbios name = PC_NAME
security = user
; the line below is important! If you have permission issues make
; sure the user here is the same as the user of the folder you
; want to share
guest account = nobody
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
name resolve order = hosts wins bcast
wins support = no
map to guest = Bad User
interfaces = lo eth0
bind interfaces only = true

[Public Share]
path = /media/external/home/shared
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = no

then I restart the samba daemon with systemctl restart smbd.service, try to access the share with kde dolphin and/or my windows network explorer, and get nothing.

Basically, I trust anyone on my network, and want anyone that has managed to authenticate to my net to have access to this share.

Edit:  I solved this by starting nmbd!
