SAMBA WEIRD PRBLEM, PLEASE HELP!!! this is my environment:
SERVER runnning Centos 3.1 with all the updates applied, sharing files using samba, rpm version 3.0.4, release 6.3E Clients running Mandrake 10.0 Download edition with all the patches applied, clients to the file server mentioned above.

In this example we will use a # # for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you # may wish to enable # # NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm" # to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors. # #======================= Global Settings ===================================== [global] # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name workgroup = ANORCO # netbios name para el servidor netbios name = ARCHIVOS # server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field server string = Super Servidor de Archivos by GlobaltecSA # This option is important for security.

Now, for the clients side... i have created mounted points for the shares, under /mnt ...., for example /mnt/legalpublica wich is a publicly accesible, writeable and readable share, and it can be mount succesfully , as root or as any local user. The problem is that only root is able to write on the shares, no matter how i mount the samba server's shares, either as a user or as root, no matter if the local mounting point is owned by root or by the same non-root local user doing the mount. All the permission on the server filesystem have been forced to 0777. Any one have a clue on this ? Curiosly, a few ms windows pc's still in use can access all the shares properly. I am migrating a law firm to linux desktop (77 linux destops), but have been crashing onto this problems for 1 week. Thanks in advanced for all your help..
