SAMBA problem

Exio · 05-14-2004, 05:33 AM

OK i can now see my share in windows and linux under the user exio. But i still do not have write permitions.

the share in smb:

[data]
comment = Nick's Service
path = /data/Data
read only = no
writable = yes
public = yes
write list = exio

Any ideas as to why i do not have wright permitions???

Cheers, Nick.

Please refrain from using that sort of language and concentrate on providing informative titles. It's not really appropriate for this site.

What are the file system permissions on "/data/Data"?
ls -l /data/Data

Sorry its just been anoying me all week

, i think i dont have write permition cause the hdd was NTFS,im in the proccess of changing it to fat. If i still have problem i will post back.

If the HDD mounted on "/data/Data" is NTFS, than that would certainly result in users not being able to write to it. NTFS mounts as a read-only file system (for now, anyway).

root@Server:/home/exio# ls -l /data/

Which unix user are you trying to write as?
