I know you'r going to hate this, but honestly you are much better off editing the samba config file by hand using your text editor of choice. Swat produces mangled files. By mangled I mean that they havn't everything correct, and it removes the very useful comments out of the file.

Mention it as the PUCLIC directory in the config file, and ensure the permissions are correct so that Samba daemon can read your files.

It'll do that as soon as you get the permissions correct. OTTOMH / IIRC Provided the daemons are running: http://localhost:901/ will give you a beautiful manual for Samba. -- C. S.
