permissions problem with samba

tommytomthms5 · 09-10-2007, 06:51 PM

ok i searched and didnt find a question similar to this....

i have a network of 5 systems 3 windows 1 Debian linux and 1 samba server....

i got my samba server working thanks to you great people

[insert link here] and i can access it with read write execute permissions on the 3 windows.....

but i had a small bit of trouble mounting it to the Debian computer i got it mounted thanks to you great people again

the link to that is here

so now come to you for (hopefully) the last of my server problems....

using

Code:

su
[password]
mkdir /media/disk
chmod a=rwx /media/disk
mount -t cifs -o username="tom",password="...." //192.168.1.105/20gig /media/disk
konqueror /media/disk

i got it mounted to my Debian computer as root user

although i can still access and execute as user t (yes my user name is "t") i dont feel like having to log in as root to write to it

ive tried chmod-ing everthing i could think of still nothing....

any thoughts?

tommy,

you still need to create a samba password for user t. Here is the command to create a samba password for t:

smbpasswd -a t

Once, you create the password execute this command to see your share point on your samba server:

smbclient -L sambaserver -U t
