[HELP] Samba access problem.
Hi everyone
I have a RHEL 5 linux box running SAMBA. I want to create a fileshare on linux machine to all other machines. My client machines are Windows XP and Vista.
I create an user account test on samba server using Webmin with default options. I didn't change anything. Just adding user name and password.
I create a folder test on samba server. I change the ownership and file permission
#chown -r test:test /test.
#chmod 755 /test
I use Share Level security only. My network is a simple workgroup, no more than 15 computers.
In smb.conf
[test]
writeable = yes
force user = test
force group = test
path = /test
write list = test @test
I wanna share this folder to some known users. not to public. if client s known this username/password, they can use it and change any contents otherwise deny to all.
On XP machine, Start->Run>\\samba-server
I see the folder name test in windows explorer. I double click the test folder icon, I see a windows security window that's asking for user name and password. I filled user named and password that I created on my samba server. But I cannot log in successfully. I can see all, but I cannot access.
What's the problem. I cannot see any contents in that folder. How do I solved the problem.
Help me please....
