Hi,

> So what is exactly the wording?

sudo -E smbpasswd -a gast
and then the new password

Atleast that is what I did on VM
You also should not need to login to the guest account. Failing to
login should automatically use the gast user account as the user
connected. 
Setting is controlled via `map to guest = Bad User`

> What else do I have to do?

Nothing that I can think off. You have the unix account added via
(operating system ...)
You also have the samba user added via
smbpasswd

I mean it's possible to check if the folder itself is readable/writeable
by the user, but I kinda doubt that's where the issue lies.

\\{server}\public should be the UNC

You also do now seem to hit any special sections (there are 3 global,
printers, homes)

I'm pretty sure you've checked the logs. If not maybe there are some
issues that are registered, although not visible...

cd /var/log/samba
