ok.. so i've had a samba share set up on our network for a while with user-level securty and it was working great, but recently there has been the need for a share that is accessible to everyone without the authentication (mostly a media server [aka a hacked xbox] that can broawse the smb network to read avaiable media) this was very easy to implement, but somehow i lost the abilty to write from the other machines in the network..

the goal? to make a data share that can be read/writeable for unix user admin can access REGAURDLESS of the machine *he* sits at on the network.. And then keep the "public" folder accessible to all without the need for a username and password..

this made me think that SHARE-level security would be best.. but i'm still a N00b

..heres my conf!
