I don't think the fact it is on a separate partiotion should have anything to do with it. I take it the directory exists, and you haven't accidentally created a file called public in the data directory. If you go ls -ld /data/public it sees the directory ok?

Yes it was a typo.
Your suggestion didn't help. I know I have the conf file right because if I change the public share to something under / like /boot it works fine. But because /data is a separate partition I'm having trouble.
I that a typo? Guest ok - yes, should be an =
Set writable = yes in the public section and remove read only.
Hope that helps
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
