I have a Fedora 9 system. I am having some problems with samba. I have samba installed and running, and an account for root setup. I need this to be a completely open system, because it is a development system for new hardware, including the motherboard. My problem is that remotely root cannot access much of anything but /. I have iptables disabled, and selinux disabled.

Previously the same settings in samba allowed full access to the disk. Now I am limited to what I can access via samba.

What has changed? What can I do to open it up completely?

what do you mean "previously"

you say nothing has changed. so you will therefore have examined the relevant config files and log files. please post your config and log files.
