Hi,

seem to have got everything working save that users can't seem to write to the share. Help is appreciated.

Here is my samba.conf (edited out names in CAPS).

# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUPNAME
server string = SERVERNAME
interfaces = eth1
encrypt passwords = Yes
update encrypted = Yes
smb passwd file = /.../PASSFILE
name resolve order = host bcast
local master = No
domain master = True
lock dir = /tmp/samba

[Devel]
comment = Development Server
path = /devel
force user = dev
read only = No


Thanks,
Saeven

Looking at the log.smbd file, this is what is says when I try to create a new directory:

open_directory: unable to create New Folder (2). Error was Permission denied.

Samba can't override linux permissions. Who owns the directory? If everybody can read/write then set the permission to 777.

Thanks.

Looking into permissions I read that even though a user is on the admin list in smb.conf, he still doesn't get write access even though the share is writable. I had to add

write list = username

and that did the trick.

Cheers.
