LinuxQuestions.org - Mounting with privelages for normal users in samba

Can you install webmin? It makes it a lot easier to configure samba. It is a GUI interface. Just point a browser to https://localhost:10000/ and click around in there. For me it is Servers then Samba in the list below. Webmin works really well for me. If you want something to go by because you can't install webmin:

Code:

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the

# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed

# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too

# many!) most of which are not shown in this example

#

# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)

# is a comment and is ignored. 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.

;  print command = lpr-cups -P %p %s # using cups own drivers (use generic PostScript on clients).

# The following two commands are the samba defaults for printing=cups

# change them only if you need different options:

;  lpq command = lpq -P %p

;  lprm command = cancel %p-%j



# This share is used for Windows NT-style point-and-print support.

# To be able to install drivers, you need to be either root, or listed

# in the printer admin parameter above. Note that you also need write access

# to the directory and share definition to be able to upload the drivers.

# For more information on this, please see the Printing Support Section of

# /usr/share/doc/samba-<version>/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf

You may want to pay close attention to this part:

Code:

writeable = yes

Yours may be no which isn't what you want.

Hope that helps.
