I am running Samba server on a NAS and use a network share in both
Windows (XP) as well as Linux clients, though I get a different set of
problems described below:
1. XP Client -> NAS. On the network share:
- I can read files & directories
- I can create files & directories
- I can rename file & directories
- I can modify/save files & directories
- I cannot delete files/directories
2. Linux client -> NAS. On the network share:
- I can read files & directories
- I can create files & directories
- I cannot rename file & directories
- I cannot modify/save files & directories (*)
- I cannot delete files/directories
* - This is rather strange, because when I edit a file with, say, gedit
on Linux, I can modify it, but when I try to save it, it tells me
"permission denied", but at the same time when I look at the net share
directory, there is a separate/new file created by gedit called
".goutstream-XXXXX", which is a copy of what should have been saved.
I only get an error message in the Linux client saying "permission
denied". In the case of the Windows client, I do not get an error
message at all when I try to delete a file/directory (the file/directory
simply disappears from Windows Explorer as if I "deleted" it, but when I
refresh the screen it is still there!).
The user I log in as on the Windows client is "Josh", while in the case
of the Linux client, this is "josh" (lowercase 'j'), though I am
identified for the share as "Josh", but have "uid=josh" in my
/etc/fstab. My smb.conf file is as follows:
[global]
Workgroup = MY.NET
security=user
server string = NAS Server
encrypt passwords = Yes
username level = 8
map to guest = Bad User
null passwords = yes
max log size = 10

Any help as to what might be the cause of this rather weird problem is
mostly welcome! Thanks.
