Indeed. at least the defaults for most shared storage is that way
(though the default config file has example entries for "anyone
access" folders as well). Printers, I believe, however, are
accessible by anyone that can see the server by default.

Now that I know what Mint is, is there a system-config-
Ubuntu? As far as I knew, that was a Fedora/Red Hat creation, so
getting an installable for Ubuntu may be ... fun... unless there is
one. Honestly, I've never looked for my Ubuntu based systems since I
do all that stuff via the only config tool you need: vi ;-)
However, samba-swat is a good web-accessible GUI tool for SMB
config... though honestly, with a little learning curve, the default
SMB config (at least the one that came with most SuSE and Red
Hat/Fedora systems) was pretty well documented, at least for basic to
moderate configs. The more advanced/obscure configs require a bit of
knowledge though...
