Hello,
I have been using Red Hat 8.0 with SAMBA for a while (but I am by no means an expert at either) without issue. Anyway I just migrated my system to SuSe 9.0. SAMBA appears to be setup properly as I can connect to the two shares I have from a windows machine. However I am having diffaculty with one of my shares. This one share has a bunch of files in it and a couple of sub-directories. There are files in these sub-directories (which I can see when I am logged into the machine). But when I connect to the share from a Windows XP Pro machine the files in the main directory appear and are accessable, but when I click to open the sub-directories they come up empty. The other share seems to work fine as I can the contents of sub-folders.
I am running SuSe 9.0 which appears to have SAMBA 2.2.8a (smbd version 2.2.8a-SuSE started.)
Clients are all running Windows XP Pro with all the latest Critical updates.
So just to re-interate, I can connect to the 'games' share and I can see the contents of the directory fine. But if I click on a sub-directory it comes up empty. If I use a console (DOS BOX) and type dir z:\<sub-dir> it comes up empty.
The files permissions for all files in the 'games' directory is 644 (rw_r__r__) and are owned by root (I've actually changed the owner to be the 'game_player' account [which is the user that connects to the share], and it had no affect).
Looking at the /var/log/samba/smb.conf doesn't show anything when I connect or enter the directory or sub-directory.
Any help is welcome.
Here is the smb.conf I am using, the 'sl' share works fine, the 'games' share is the one with the problem.
