It worked for a few minutes, but now I can't access that directory from the Mandriva machine. It says I don't have permission.
Is it still accessible from the Windows machine? How are you trying to access it on the Mandriva machine and what user are you logged in as? What permissions are on that directory?
On the Linux box can you go into that directory as justin and create/see files? On Windows when you try to enter that share does it prompt for a username and password?

Its those security checks. It worked for a second I left to watch a special on Afghanistan and it made a fool of me.

If you go to the samba website the lastest revision is a bugfix relating to security. Read the changelog to find out if it will help with your problem. If not then continue one with the version that you have.

There's no harm in checking but like most distros Mandriva backports all the relevant security fixes into their Samba version 3.whatever_version_it_was_when_the_distro_was_released RPM. So far it looks more like a problem with Mandriva's 'msec' security thingo than Samba anyway.

You can disable them as I described in a previous post and see if that helps. It seems strange that it would break the permissions on that directory - what permissions is it setting it to? Does samba still have group ownership of that directory and files and folders in it after the permissions have gone wrong? The user justin definately is part of that samba group?

Here are the current permissions on the directory
drwx--x--x 2 nobody samba 4096 Jan 4 23:51 samba/
then I try do get a listing...
[]$ ls
ls: .: Permission denied
Why, when the answer already seems to have been given, would the OP pay 49USD or 245USD or 995USD or 2495USD? And this is a printing solution when the OP wants to be able to access directories. And another thing, this is the third answer you have given which refers to ESP as the answer.
Are we on commission or are they just your employer - enquiring minds need to know.
No, when you like something you try to tell as many people as you can. Being a newbie, I didn't think of Samba as anything but a printing solution, which it isn't. That's why I'm here, to learn. Obviously, I need to pay a little more attention to the whole thread.
