Samba sharing


Has anyone run across this?

I have samba up and running on my win network. I added a new directory share. But it shows up in my win98 and win2k boxes as a printer share.
I had this happen before when I was using swat. When I manually edited my smb.conf the problem went away.
The share I just added I did manually. For the life of me I cannot figure out why it shows up as a printer icon in my windows boxes.
Here is a section of my smb.conf. The [download] section works just fine. Its the [pub] section that shows up a printer icon in my windows boxes. I made the pub section by just copying and pasting the download section.\

Any ideas?

[download]
comment = internet downloads
path = /home/download
valid users = Bob Terry
public = no
writable = yes
printable = yes
create mask = 0765
available = yes
browseable = no
guest only = no
only user = yes
preexec close = no
root preexec close = no

[pub]
comment = internet downloads
path = /var/ftp/pub
valid users = Bob Terry
public = no
writable = yes
printable = yes
create mask = 0765
available = yes
browseable = yes
guest only = no
only user = yes
preexec close = no
root preexec close = no
