First thing, you could remove
hosts deny = ALL
hosts allow will allow the ips specified and block others by default

try adding
browseable = yes
to your share and check.

please help cant create or copy

w3bd3vil · 07-02-2008, 10:09 AM

Last thing I could think of.
create a share named /test123
make it world writeable and then try.
i.e change /mnt/storage to /test123
or make /mnt chmod 777 and give it a try

and remove writable = yes, because read only = no and writeable = yes mean the same thing.

marozsas · 07-02-2008, 12:28 PM

What is the mount command you are using ?
To mount you need to be root, right ? On the mount command you need to specify who is the linux user that can hve access to the share. On the command below the linux user "miguel" has uid/gid=500:

Code:

[root@babylon5 ~]# mount -t cifs //server/temp /mnt -o user=miguel,password=miguels_pasword_on_samba,uid=500,gid=500 
[root@babylon5 ~]#

and as "miguel"...

Code:

[miguel@babylon5 ~]$ touch /mnt/test
[miguel@babylon5 ~]$ ll /mnt/test
-rw-rw-r-- 1 miguel miguel 0 2008-07-02 14:25 /mnt/test
[miguel@babylon5 ~]$ rm /mnt/test
[miguel@babylon5 ~]$

as so here is my files on my samba please take a look and tell me where i gone worng

smb.conf :
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server
encrypt passwords = True
security = user
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY

if so please tell me how due all the folwing that i send

10xxx alot

marozsas · 07-03-2008, 06:46 AM

I am sorry, I understand wrong. Rreading your post again, looks like you can't create files on winXP side, right ?

I suppose you can, at least, to mount the share "FileServer" on windows XP side and see the files and folders on it, right ?

try to add the explicit permissions to the user "samba" to FileServer share definition:

Code:

[FileServer]
comment = FileServer
path = /mnt/storage/
read only = no
writable = yes
public = yes
browseable = yes
valid users = samba
write list = samba

and add explict permissions to the user "samba" to folder /mnt/storage. You can do that either by changing of the owner of the folder /mnt/storage (chown samba /mnt/storage) or by changing the access mode of the folder for anyone (chmod o+rwx /mnt/storage)

restart the samba server and try to create files/folders on the share on a winXP host.

hi im sorry if i drove you carsy but for some reason i cant log in to the samba shre from wi-xp i stuck in the user+password screen (xp)

marozsas · 07-03-2008, 09:26 AM

The error message in the log says something about wrong permissions of /etc/smbpasswd.
What is the current permissions of this file ? (ls -l /etc/smbpasswd)

marozsas · 07-07-2008, 06:55 AM

From a linux machine, (could be from the samba server) try, as regular user:

Code:

$ touch empty.txt
$ smbclient //ip-of-smb-server/FileServer samba-user-password  -W WORKGROUP -u samba
smb: \> ls
...(output of ls command)
smb: \> mkdir test
smb: \> put empty.txt
smb: \> cd test
smb: \> put empty.txt
smb: \> quit
$ rm empty.txt

Elnegro8 · 07-07-2008, 07:51 AM

i think i know what is the problem but no what is the solution :

marozsas · 07-07-2008, 08:01 AM

Elena, please, give explicit access to FileServer share as I told you, restart the smbd service and give me the results of the smbclient commands in my last post.

With the default parameters in FileServer share is not possible to test what is wrong.
