Samba "Access Deny" when writing to share

OpenVP · 12-26-2006, 03:20 AM

can some one kindly help me with Samba setup before i go crazy.

this is my smb.conf:

Code:

[global]
	workgroup = HOME
	os level = 20
	netbios name = linuxserver.no-ip.biz
	encrypt passwords = yes
	security = share

[linux]
	comment = Linux Share
	writeable = yes
	public = yes
	read only = no
	write list = saleh,@saleh
	path = /linux
	allow hosts = 192.168.1.2

i can browse this share from my windows XP and red files, but i cany write to it. i get "Access Deny".

folder permission is ok:

[root@saleh ~]# ls -al / |grep linux
drwxrwxrwx 5 saleh saleh 4096 Dec 26 10:12 linux

also in windows my workgroup name is : HOME

also: in the linux server i have the user "saleh" on both /etc/password and samba user file, plus the same user and password on windows.

192.168.1.2 is my windows XP IP

the path is /root/saleh/linux or /linux? that part is the only thing that looks fishy to me. this is my samba conf if it will help:

Code:

[Linux1]
   comment = 300GB Linux Hard Drive
   path = /home/mind/300gb
   read only = no
   public = yes

[Linux2]
   comment = 70GB Linux Hard Drive
   path = /home/mind/70gb
   read only = no
   public = yes

[Music]
   comment = Music Drive
   path = /home/mind/Warez/Music
   read only = yes
   public = yes

the path is ok. i want to share /linux
i have this permission on this folder:

[root@saleh ~]# ls -al / |grep linux
drwxrwxrwx 5 saleh saleh 4096 Dec 26 10:12 linux

i think the problem is something other then samba (selinux) for example but i have selinux disable and no firewall.

i found the problem

it was selinux

i thoout selinux was disabled on this box but i was wrong ( system-config-securitylevel show me that its disabled)

i had to run this commands:

[root@saleh ~]# setsebool -P smbd_disable_trans 1
[root@saleh ~]# service smb restart
