Everyone.
You could also grant file access rights to the user container (OU) and they will be inherited by all leaf objects in the container.
The difference is that everyone isn't automatically in the "everyone" group like Windoze. You decide who is in the "everyone" group. Usually, it's something you add to the user templates, but you are in control of who is in "everyone."

Yeah, using the Public object is tackling the problem using NDS.
Personally, I prefer not to use the Public object, especially for filesystem rights, because those rights are available to UNauthenticated connections. Using the OU in which the user objects exist (as suggested by ShineOn) is a much better way to grant filesystem rights by leveraging the Directory Service. That way the rights are only available to authenticated users.

Yead, I gotta remember to be less cryptic. That's what I meant by "if you truly want *everyone* to be able to read it." That granting FS rights to Public opens it to any connection, authenticated or not.
Well, its hard to remember to cover every nuance of a situation. That's what the rest of us and points splits are for. :-)
