I have a user named killer which i always use to login gentoo . Now i have setup a Samba server so that all computers inside my university can access files(download and upload from my Samba server ) .
my share inside samba.conf looks like this:
[public]
comment = Public Files
browseable = yes
readonly = no
writeable = yes
public = yes
force create mode = 777
force directory mode = 777
guest account = killer
guest ok = yes
path = /home/killer/public

I have created a guest user by using useradd command . Now every1 can access my public folder , and they r able to write there , but the problem is that no one can download files from this folder . It says access denied , make sure the file is not in use . I have set chmod 777 for public folder and also given full access to all files inside the public folder , then why cant people download files .
