I am trying to share a directory in FC4. readable and writable to

The directory is /data/public : 2777 root:root. It is an ext3 partition.
This is my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = HOMENETWORK
netbios name = server
server string = Samba Server
security = SHARE
guest account = guest
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.0/24
hosts deny = 192.168.0.1/24
[public]
comment = Public Stuff
path = /data/public
read only = No
guest ok - Yes
I am able to browse the server but when I open the share public I get an
error that the directory doesn't exist.
The /data directory is a ext3 partition. I am able to share a directory in
the / partition with no problems.
I am stumped. --Louis
Thre may be some connection with a similar problem that I have. I get the
same 'does not exist' message when I try to access 'homes'. I do have a
public directory underneath my /home on the server, and I can access that,
then go up a level to the /home/anne that should have been available as
'homes'.
I have come to the conclusion that there is something odd about passing the
password. When I request Anne-Public I am asked for the password, after
which I can move around easily. When I request 'homes' I am not asked for
the password.
I know this is no solution for you, but I'm hoping that my £0.02 will trigger
some useful ideas from someone else ;-)
