samba shares in FC4

[Louis E Garcia II <louisg00@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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

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
