Hallo together,

I have installed a SuSE 9.1 box, Samba and configured two shares (was working on my previous installation without any trouble). I can access both shares from a Windows 2000 and Windows XP boxes. On the Windows 2000 machine I can delete files, rename directories, etc. Everything is working well. But when I do it on the Windows XP machine I got the message "The files are read only, etc.". I can't work with XP. The strangest thing is that when I use a program to create disk images and I select the mapped share than I get immediately a "Access is denied" message. I checked all configurations on the samba server, but I couldn't solve the problem.

The passwords are set with smbpasswd -a root, etc.

Any suggestions?

Ok, in the meantime I switched the debug level higher and got following entry in my log. May it helps to find the error. I'm really surprised because the failure exist for many users but there are no workarounds in the filed :-((
