I have created the dir "/usr/public" and set it as the public folder for samba. I can map public onto a windows machine and view files on it. What I can't do is create files from the windows machine onto the public folder (resident on the linux server)
the user I am using is "scott" which is part of the group "lacalnet"
I tried :

# chgrp -R localnet /usr/public

in hopes that it is a pemission problem.

any ideas?

I believe under the properties for that folder in smb.conf you add mask=0655 or the respective set of permissions that you want. Also, I think you are supposed to have writable = yes in the smb.conf file as well under the folder settings.
