I'm using samba v.3.0.10 on Gentoo. I am using security=user. Also, as a response to the person who mentioned directory permissions... All of the directories in /var/lib/samba are owned by root:wheel and the printer admin is @wheel. When I upload the drivers, they get owned by gbaker:cs-study, which is my uid and primary gid. I chmod'd all the directories 775, except for /var/lib/samba/private..which is 770. My print$ share is set up as follows.. [print$] comment = Printer Driver Download Area path = /var/lib/samba/drivers browseable = no guest ok = no read only = yes write list = @wheel create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 Thanks again to everyone.
