man smb.conf

"read only = No" _is_ equal to "writable = yes"

also

"guest ok = Yes" _is_ equal to "public = yes"

I also maintain that for portability of the readability of smb.conf that 
the standard parameters should be used instead of the synonyms. This 
means using "guest ok" instead of "public" and "read only" instead 
of "writable" or "writable".

It would help in the long run if the synonyms were deprecated and 
testparm warned of their usage.
