iomega_hdd sharing problem

wael_nasreddine · 07-04-2004, 06:03 AM

hello everyone i have an external iomega_hdd plugged by usb2 into my pc wich ir runs under Mandraje linux official 10, this hdd has to be shared read/write with any pc in the network ( i have a router wich accept wireless/ethernet connections )
so i've shared this drive with samba and smb.conf look like this

Code:

[IOMEGA_HDD]
   path = /home/wael/iomega_hdd
   comment = /home/wael/iomega_hdd
   read only = no
   public = yes
   guest ok = yes
   browseable = yes
   writable = yes
   wide links = no

when i try to write/delete anything inside it from another pc he tells me that i don't have enough permissions so i've taked a look to the permissions it is set to 755
i'm the ownwer not root and to adm group, i'm using Gnome when i try to select others write and group write it go automatically unselected i can't change permissions even from a terminal as my user name or as a root he does not give me any errors but simply the permission remain unchanged

any ideas????????

Thanks

/etc/fstab contents

Code:

/dev/hdb1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cd auto umask=0022,user,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
/dev/hdc /mnt/dvd auto umask=0022,user,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0022,iocharset=utf8,sync 0 0
none /mnt/iomega_hdd supermount dev=/dev/sda1,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0022,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/xp vfat umask=0022,iocharset=utf8 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb5 swap swap defaults 0 0
