I don't mean to sound brash....But!!!

Sensitive personal data on the SMB server?  You are aware that SMB
sniffers can pick up that data and reconstruct it as soon as you
transfer it right?  No authentication is needed.  Additionally,
cracking SMB is not hard.  So maybe you will keep out the 12 year
olds, but those teens will have it cracked in no time!
