I am a bit rusty on this sort of question, but:
Maybe you have somethings in your global section screening out visitors?
Maybe a firewall problem?
How are the visiting laptops assigned ip's and names?

Greetings,
I am trying to set up a Public share that visitors who do not
have accounts in our system have ro access to, while staff members
(who do have accounts) have rw access.
Our department has visitors who plug laptops into our network who
will only be there once, and want to copy some of our software. However,
with the following share definition, staff have rw access, but visitors
can't even browse.
My share definition is as follows:
[public]
comment = Filespace Everyone can Access
path = /shares/Public/
browseable = yes
public = yes
read only = yes
write list = @staff # read only, except for people in the staff group
What am I missing? Do I need a guest account at the unix level or
something? (or would that be Guest).
Thanks in advance for the advice.
