Hi All,
I have recetly installed SQL server 2005 on new server box. The installtion was successful but when I go to the "Server Roles" I did not found the "Public" role. What it means? Does the absence of this role could have impact on sql server?

You do have the public role inside the database as database role.

yes, public role is there in database role.
Second problem is that whenever I try to create a new login on sql server, it is not showing "Public" role in server role option but as per the SQL server help, every login is initially created in "Public" role. So it should be visible there.

Public is a database role. When you add a login you add that to the sql server instance. you can map it to the public role when you add the login to the database user.

A login doesn't have rights to a database, it has rights to the server. You must create users to access a database and map them as Sugesh has noted.
Read up on security in Books online to understand principals, logins, and users.
