Im trying to create a SAMBA share on my SuSe 9.3 Server... My Linux box acts as a router and a internet access point. Im trying to create a samba share that all the computers in my house can view and can edit the files contained inside. This is so we can share files between each other without burning files to a disk.

We can view the shares perfectly but when you try to view the contents of the folder it says "You do not have permission to view this Network Source", i need a share that all guests/computers in the house can have access to and can edit.

I cant figure out how to do this as i have never played around with SAMBA shares before.

If you need any information about my linux box just state so.

Thank you

I'd highly recommend against filesharing on a system directly connected to the internet. Having said that, make sure that the directory being shared has full rwx permissions. For example:

[root@mbox ~]# ls -ld /music
drwxrwxrwx 12 root root 480 Dec 30 19:24 /music

[root@mbox ~]# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
.
.
.

[music]
browseable = yes
comment = Music
path = /music
read only = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes

(I chopped my smb.conf file down to just the info on the share. My actual smb.conf is 581 lines.)

Another approach is to make users members of a group then change group permissions on the share..
eg
[ENTRY]
create mask = 0660
path = /<directory>
force group = users
valid users = +users
case sensitive = No

then chown -R :users <directory>
& chmod -R 660 <directory>

Add browsers to the users group and to samba members.
First login will require a password but after that it should be automatic.

Make sure smbd is only listening on your local interface..
add
interfaces = eth0 lo
bind interfaces only = Yes

nmbd will listen on everything so filter it well.

Is there any chance i can make 1 computer in specific see a specific share...

Like my computer is called SIMON is there any chance i can only make my computer view a share or at least password protect the share...

Seeing is a global function.. all or nothing..

Permissions are set by adding the user to samba with smbpasswd..

Ok, Any chance you can help me out with that... I deleted my only samba user by accident and i dont see where in Webmin or anywhere that allows me to create a user...
