I've just recently gotten a Linux 9 install up in
my quest to do away with MS Windows on my desktop,
but am having trouble writing to an XP shared drive where we store most of our office files.
I can read files from it fine, but any attempt to
write gives me errors, typically directory is read
only. However, any other machine can write to it and I can see on the XP machine itself it does appear set up to allow others on the network to
write to the disk.
I am also currently running MS Office through Crossover and those apps seem to be able to write to it fine.
I have a user set up on the XP machine with the same user name and password as my Linux workstation login, and the mount command in the fstab file is:
//server/c /mnt/XPserver smbfs username=*****,password=*****
With the same username and password of course.
I belive my settings in the smb.conf are okay, but who can be certain? I have a FreeBSD machine here that acts as a web server, email server, etc, and I can write to the disk from there. So I copied the basic settings from its smb.conf file to the Linux one. No luck.
Anyone got any ideas? I'm pretty stumped at this point.
