public directory : help required

[Troian_Pierre]

	Hello,
	
	We are working with samba 1.9.16p11 on Solaris. Connections are made
	from Windows NT or Windows 3.11 PC's.
	
	In the smb.conf man pages, the public parameter definition explains that 
	a public directory is accessed with the privileges of the guest account.
	
	In that case, I have a problem in understanding one of the example given 	
	in the  default configuration file  ( example/simple/smb.conf ):
	
; A publicly accessible directory, but read only, except for people in
; the staff group
;[public]
;   comment = Public Stuff
;   path = /usr/somewhere/public
;   public = yes
;   writable = no
;   printable = no
;   write list = @staff
	
	How is it possible to define a write list when all the users accessing
	the directory are seen as "guest" ( no password required ) ?
	
	Thanks for your help
