[wplug] Samba problem - SOLUTION

[R.E.Coutch]

While I still seem to have a problem with the guest db portion of SAMBA it 
looks like my problem was a combination of permissions.

I had samba set to allow guest access to 2 directories and both those 
directories had Linux system permission to allow all read and access to 
other.

The problem must have been that the directory above the two shares did not 
have read and access permission for other.

I moved the shares into a new folder called /home/public that has read and 
access permission for other and now the shares can be accessed as a guest via 
samba.

I guess this was another case of "Do what I mean, not what I say"
