problem with linux n xp directory sharing! linux is the server
 

Hi, can anyone help please. When I logged on a regular user on the XP. it did let me access the Linux server. but when I try to open the directory that showed up on window, its telling me that I don't have access to the surfer.

what could be that problem? please help. thanks in advance.

Permissions on Linux server are probably maintained by Samba (SMB) server, which you might not have permissions to open/see the directory.

If so, you might want to look at:

- Samba-AccessControls

I hope it helps
