[Samba] trouble with ferdora core 5 with samba

[Ron Deen]

Have you tried to add "public = yes" to share to see if that helps?
For example:

[Sharename]
        writeable = yes
        path = /opt/samba/software
        force group = users
        force user = ron
        public = yes
        create mode = 777
        directory mode = 777

Regards

Ron Deen
