Definitely!!!  (not!)

Nop, nothing really gets special-cased under linux, everything
is either a file, a filesystem directory, or a device (or pseudo-
device) mountpoint.

Unless "public" has some device or virtual filesystem mounted, it's
a plain directory, like anything else.

I really can't guess anything about this "public" directory which
is giving you headaches, without seeing your full httpd.conf file,
so I won't guess anything about it.  Just in case, search your
config file for "public" or "/public" and check what you find.

NO!  But it tries hard enough :-)

Actually, Apache under Windows does (or tries damn hard) to do
the right thing.  allow and deny clauses work as they should under
both platforms.
