You'd need to ensure that: a. The smb-registered user 'juan' has access to the share. Check smb.conf for this one. b. The user juan has enough privileges to the directory referenced by the share. You could use the tools chmod, chown, and setfacl (for fine-grained ACLs) to do this. -- Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List plug@lists.q-linux.com (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
