This is definitely a permission issue. When you mount the Partition, i believe you're mounting either as User or as Root and you may not have permitted read access. eg: in /etc/fstab /dev/hda2 /mnt/xp ntfs nls=utf8,uid=0,gid=0,umask=0222,ro,noatime 0 0 Note the UID/GID/Umask > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ow Mun Heng" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "gentoo" <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2005 4:15 PM > Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] samba problem > > > > On Thu, 2005-05-12 at 16:05 +1000, Zhendong Zhou (Kyle) wrote: > > > Hi, > > > After installing samba with conf. attached below, I connected from XP > Home > > > ed.
