Samba configuration problem

[Phil Cooper]

Hi;

I'm desperately trying to get Ubuntu to share my home folder with the  
Windows and Mac machine on my network via Samba. I can browse and use  
folders on the other machines, and I can browse my home folder on the  
Ubuntu machine, I just can't copy into it or make new files.

My smb.conf looks like this:


#======================= Global Settings =======================

[global]

## Browsing/Identification ###

# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will  
part of
    workgroup = MSHOME

# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
    server string = Vexed (Samba, Ubuntu)

;  wins support = no
    dns proxy = no
;   security = user
    encrypt passwords = true
    passdb backend = tdbsam guest
    obey pam restrictions = yes
    invalid users = root
;  unix password sync = no
    passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
    passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew 
\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .
;  pam password change = no



######## File sharing ########

# Name mangling options
;   preserve case = yes
;   short preserve case = yes

############ Misc ############

    socket options = TCP_NODELAY
;   domain master = auto


#======================= Share Definitions =======================

[PhilsHome]
path = /home/phil
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes


To recap: I would like my home directory (/home/phil) to be browsable  
and writable by everyone. It would also be nice if I didn't have to  
authenticate to get to it - no user/pass box everytime.

Thanks for any help anyone may be able to give!
