I have an smb service set up on a box on my home network, and it currently works fine with the mp3 folder I share out accross the lan. However, I recently decided to add a share for my web site so i could make site updates/changes from any other box in the house rather than having to go to the server to make content changes.
The relevant bita of my smb.conf file look like this: [mp3] path = /share/mp3 public = yes only guest = yes writable = yes printable = no [tomdecom] path = /home/httpd/htdocs/tom.digitalelite.com public = yes only guest = yes writable = yes printable = no The output of a version check on the server-side gives me: # smbd -V Version 2.2.8a On the client side, the relevant bits of my fstab file look like this: //mordor/mp3 /network/mp3 smbfs username=Guest,password=,users,fmask=777,dmask=777 0 0 //mordor/tomdecom /network/tomdecom smbfs username=Guest,password=,users,fmask=777,dmask=777 0 0 Note that I have created both client-side directories and I have restarted samba after adding the [tomdecom] entry. I have even gone so far as to reboot my client system. The smb shares mount fine. No errors. I can view the contents: # ls -la /network/tomdecom/ total 3163 drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Feb 4 22:10 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 192 Feb 5 08:48 .. -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 62 Oct 8 01:28 index.html Note that the permissions seem adequate, yet when I try to copy files to that /network/tomdecom folder, I get errors: `webalbum/index.html' -> `/network/tomdecom/index.html' cp: cannot create regular file `/network/tomdecom/index.html': Permission denied `webalbum/left.png' -> `/network/tomdecom/left.png' cp: cannot create regular file `/network/tomdecom/left.png': No such file or directory `webalbum/next.png' -> `/network/tomdecom/next.png' cp: cannot create regular file `/network/tomdecom/next.png': No such file or directory `webalbum/prev.png' -> `/network/tomdecom/prev.png' cp: cannot create regular file `/network/tomdecom/prev.png': No such file or directory `webalbum/right.png' -> `/network/tomdecom/right.png' cp: cannot create regular file `/network/tomdecom/right.png': No such file or directory `webalbum/top.png' -> `/network/tomdecom/top.png' cp: cannot create regular file `/network/tomdecom/top.png': No such file or directory If the file already exists, I get a permission denied error, and if the file doesn't already exist I get a "no such file or directory" error. I tried simply opening the folder in Nautilus (I'm using Gnome 2.4 on the client-side and no gui on the server side) and creating a folder there, but I get a permission denied error there too. All this, and yet the permissions seem sjust fine as reported by both the cli and Nautilus. I have tried to copy files as both my regular uid and as root. I have also tried to simply "touch" a file onto the share and gotten the same result. It goes without saying, probably, but when I'm on the server itself, I have no permissions issues. Remember that the /network/mp3 share works perfectly fine. No problems in any way. It's just the tomdecom share that is acting up. What can I be doing wrong? Any help at all would be appreciated. If you need to see other output, feel free to ask.
