Samba public users directory (quick howto)

This quick post shows you how to create a samba share for a network, every user is forced to a specific username and each file belongs to this username. This is useful when dealing with public folders for some sort of exchange between users in a network

Read/Write access  to everyone for directories and files, this is a tipical configuration for a swap area

Check it out:

[public]
    comment = Public folder for my network
    available = yes
    browseable = yes
    path = /home/public
    guest ok = yes
    public = yes
    writable = yes
    write list = *

    force group = commongroup
    force user = commonuser
    create mask = 0644
    directory mask = 0755

    printable = no
