Hello.

My name is Casey Quibell and I am new to the samba mailing list.

I am having some problems with a small samba configuration. Essentially I
have tried to create a configuration in which two shares exist ( [data], and
[apps] ) that require user authentication to access. While at the same time
there exists a share, [public] which I want to be browseable and connectable
by everyone with NO password. I have browseable = yes, public = yes, and
guest ok = yes, but still my configuration seems to require a login and
password for people to access or even SEE [public].

[data], and [apps] are functioning as intended. (User fileserver can read
and write to [data], and also read from [apps]. While user sambaadmin can
read and write from both just fine). But if I try to browse to the samba
server with no password or name, I can not see the [public] share, nor
access it. Both users, fileserver, and sambaadmin can access [public] just
fine if they are used as the login credentials, but this is hardly the kind
of Public or guest access I am trying to achieve.

If someone could point out what it is I am doing wrong in my smb.conf, it
would be greatly appreciated!
