Hi, >> Right now, I've managed to connect to the share with no problem, although I can't write in the share; after all, I've moved forward a little bit.
Try "read only = no" for that share (in smb.conf). I am quite sure that this would do the trick here. >>My question now is: is there a difference between the "read only" and "writable" tags in the smb.conf? I mean, from my logic, "read only = no" should have the same effects as "writable = yes". Maybe I'm wrong... As far as the documentation of parameters say; there is no difference. (http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html#READONLY) You can also try using help pages accessible through SWAT, for clearing doubts pertaining to smb.conf parameters.
