Create Windows-accessible Public shares via Samba

I tried this forever but it didn't work for me in 10.4.3.

However, eworks method works fine and is much easier for everyone as all nonexistant user names get remapped to the guest account. So, apart from user names existant on your mac (actually including "unknown"), you can enter anything you like.

Uncomment the [public] section and then add the following line to the [global] section:

map to guest = bad user
