please help newbie with Samba issue

[AC Perdon]

Hi,

You need to edit your /etc/samba/smb.conf  under share Definitions you may
read the man page or google it for more information. but below is a sample
of the config you must do:

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

[Public folder]
comment = Public folder
read only = yes
path = /home/Public_folder
guest ok = yes

then you have to set the permission of the folder right click the Public
folder --> Properties --> Permission or if your familiar with the command
line:

$chmod 744 Public_folder

your folder should look like this:

drwxr--r--  2  ben ben   4096 2008-09-03 10:44 Public_folder

Hope this help

-AC
