I have the guest account enabled. However, if I create the same share in say /var it works how I would like it to work, so I think it has something to do with /home/wes which is forbidden to anyone but "wes", even though I have /home/wes/Downloads viewable by anyone. So it appears that the hierarchy has something to do with it. Obviously a normal user does not have permission to create a folder and share it from /var, and I do not want everyone to have read access to /home/wes, is there some way I can make it work that anyone (guest) can view the [Programs] share?
