They're only transmitted that way if you want them to be. Samba is
under your control.
Ok fair enough. Can I do Samba without a workgroup etc? (I have used samba, but only in the more general workgroup/domain/lan form)
Define untrusted... Family with no technical knowledge, LAN with a
person you expect to cause you problems, LAN with people you don't know
on it, etc.
University network, publick IPs, Cisco routers between LAN and the "real world" and no network administrative privileges.
You can share things as read-only over Samba if you want to, and there's
various ways to restrict who can access what.
