Hello. I have a Security = share smb.conf file and everything works fine, except that my wife 'sara' has only read access to the directory I am trying to share \\myserver\data\ on the linux machine.
I am running two WinXP machines (home and pro) and trying to share files in this directory. If I check permissions I get ie: drwxrwxr-- 2 john myadmins 4096 May 4 03:11 2003_12 drwxrwxr-- 2 john myadmins 4096 May 4 03:08 2004_01 or -rwxrwxr-- 1 john myadmins 669914 Feb 28 15:37 114_1467.JPG -rwxrwxr-- 1 john myadmins 759455 Feb 28 15:38 114_1468.JPG My smb.conf is set up as: # 040502 # [global] workgroup = myworkgroup netbios name = myserver security = share encrypt password = Yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u server string = s %v on %L [homes] comment = John and Sara's Home Directories # we set the valid users = to the current share's name valid users = john # I know I should use something else here, but can't get anything else to work read only = No # we might want to set this to No after troubleshooting browseable = No hide dot files = Yes [data] # this is the main share we run all our files from comment=John and Sara's data store path = /home/data valid users = john sara read only = No writeable = Yes My /etc/group has the following lines inside: myadmins:x:500:john,sara And my passwd file has the needed entries. My wife is only able to get read permissions to this directory, she is a member of Myserver\myadmins, but that doesn't seem to help. I am new to this and very confused. Can anyone help? I have, of course, added the users to the smbpasswd. Tim -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
