In the /etc/samba.conf file down near the bottom you will see a section like
this, edit to you liking.

# A publicly accessible directory, but read only, except for people in
# the "staff" group
[public]
   comment = Public Stuff
   path = /home//public
# open to everyone
   public = yes
# writable no, if you want all to write to it change to yes
   writable = no
#if writable no, a list of users that can write. a @ is for a group and no @
is for users only. place a comma between users.
   write list = @staff

Make sure permissions are set correctly on /home/public and restart samba.
