[Samba] My public folder is not public

["Raúl D. Pittí Palma"]

look in chapter one of ther samba guide, page number 8 (pdf document 
page 40), and look for the usage of sticky bit (chmod -R 
ug+rwxs,o-w,o+rx /YOURDIR).  with this, and the force  user and force 
group mentioned by Mark, your problems should go away.
Hope this help!
