share [g+] share [fb]

This is my folder configuration from smb.conf

I can access this folder from my windows machine, but i don't have write privileges. I do need guests to be able to write to this folder. Forget security for a second... Why isn't this enough?

[Guest Share]
comment = Guest access share
path = /var/www/myFolder
browseable = yes
writable = yes
read only = no
guest ok = yes

Samba is ultimately limited by the underlying filesystem permissions. What do the permissions on /var/www/myFolder look like? Do they allow anyone write access?
