samba not giving me write access

Hey all,

I recently installed samba and configured it as such:

Code:

[global]

        

        workgroup = WORKGROUP

        netbios name = CYPRUS



        server string = whatever



        security = share



[SDR]  

        comment = school

        path = /home/gnychis/school/SDR

        guest ok = yes

        browseable = yes

        writable = yes

I have specified writable, and I can see, list, and read from the directory in windows... however I cannot write what so ever. It keeps saying "Access is denied"

any ideas?

Thanks!
George

i had to turn off guest, and add a valid user with smbpasswd and alias it... instructions are at the bottom of the gentoo-wiki page for samba:

in your linux you type: chmod 755 /home/gnychis/school/sdr
try again!
