Also, I've found that you need to set the WORKGROUP in the smb.conf to the
right name or else it won't show up in your network neighborhood.

Tuan,
First, please try not to post htmlized e-mails to the list. Some e-mail
clients add all kinds of extra html tags, reduce the size of the font such
that it is unreadable, or change the color to a grayish color, making it
much more difficult to read.
Finally with samba, the easiest way to get a "common network share" (ie, a
network share accessed and writable by multiple users), you can do as
follows:
First enable the smbusers file around line 78 in your /etc/smb.conf file
# Unix users can map to different SMB User names
username map = /etc/smbusers
Finally, your share listing within your smb.conf file should look something
like:
[name_of_share]
browseable = yes
path = /path/to/share
public = yes
guest only = no
writable = yes
only user = no
available = yes
comment = What share is for
force user = owner_of_share
force group = owner_of_share
This should work.
Michael

Hi all, I have a computer which uses Linux Mandrake 8.0. Because I want this
computer become files server for windows users, so I setup Samba on it. I
created a share folder named T and now I am having problem with Read/Write
permission. I want all users can read and edit (or delete) files which
created by other users but I can't. When I open file which created by other
user, I get Read Only File. This file become Readable/write able when I log
in the same user name (who created the file). Could anyone please give me
some help. Thank you very much. Tuan
