I had Samba setup up on a debian box with three XP\2000 clients accessing the four samba shares but only allowing three users access to a couple of the folders. These 3 users had dummy accounts set up on the debian box (they never logged onto the debian box). The samba shares live on an external USB hard disk connected to the debian box (formatted as fat32).
For non (samba) related reason I have changed my OS to Mepis and now I can't seem to recreate the setup I previously had ( I did save my old smb.conf (along with 90% of my home folder) but that is now sat in a corrupt archive file which I can't access!! At the moment my XP\2000 boxes can read and copy files from the samba shares but can't write to the Samba share which I want. Below is my smb.conf, it may look a little messy as I have been trying things to get it working Any suggestion please?
