here is what I am trying to accomplish :

---Internet------> (Router) ---LAN----> (Samba Server + Apache PHP File Manager)

The plan being I can serve shared files from the samba server to the internet (so we can access from school / work)

All the shared files go in /home/share. I eventually plan to mount some shared folders from the windows machines inside /home/share as well, but that later.

/home/share should be accessable (r+w) from the windows machines, with the username share, password share. (If I can, I'd rather remove the U/N + P/W alltogether, they're behind a hardware firewall anyway.)

I can see, and read the shared folder, but not write it.

I have tried chmod -R a+rw /home/share
I have re-set the user share's password, just to be sure.

Also, does anyone know where debian woody's samba install hides it's extra config file? because I setup the folder share during install, but now I don't want it any-more, and I can't find the file to remove it. and yes, I have
find / -name *s*m*b*
but that no worky

Also, does anyone know why (as root)
debian:~# mount -t smbfs //New/NAMESchool/ /home/share/NAMESchool/
returns :
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //New/NAMESchool/,
or too many mounted file systems
where NEW is the name of the computer?
(and yes, /home/share/NAMESchool does exist)

Thanks.

Whoops

Relavent section of /etc/samba/smb.conf :
#======================= Share Definitions =======================

[homes]
comment = Uploaded Files
browseable = yes

# By default, the home directories are exported read-only. Change next
# parameter to 'yes' if you want to be able to write to them.
writable = yes

# File creation mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to
# create files with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775.
create mask = 0766

# Directory creation mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to
# create dirs. with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775.
directory mask = 0766

Heh, my bad

I forgot that I changed /home/share from a local directory on the EXT3 partition to the much larger (EX windows 98) vfat partition, I forgot to set the umask. Worky now
