I think I've figured it out... I discovered the same type of problem when I tried to put a symlink in my www folder for apache. Apparently the mount point for /media/Share gave me read/write access, but no one else. I had assumed that if I set /media/Share/Music to give "others" read only, that this would override the parent folder's permissions, but apparently that's not the case. I set the parent folder to give read only permission to "others", and that seems to have done the trick.
Chalk that one up to me being a Linux noob. Again, thank you! On Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 2:24 AM, Richard Wheelock <[email protected]>wrote: > Hmm... I'm not sure.
