Samba issue

[Oliver Marshall]

Hi chaps

I'm trying to set up an old machine with ubuntu (10.xx lts) as a basic samba server to allow people to create more trash...I mean important files, on the network.

I'm getting a problem with the public share whereby the end users (all windows XP and 7) get permission denied errors when trying to write to the share. They can see the files in there though.

The share setup in smb.conf is;

[Test]
comment=Test Share
path=/var/samba/test
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
writable = yes
read only = no
public = yes

What have I missed?

Olly
