Samba Linux Shares

I could make window98´s see linux shares but users can´t write to the share folders in Linux.

Thanks for your help,

Gabriel.

ok, so is this from another linux machine using the samba share?

or is it windows users can't write to the share..?

well, i'd guess it's the latter, so check the rights to the share directory, i'd guess you want all attributes set. Then check the smb.conf file to ensure that you've got a line saying

writable = yes
or
read only = no.

depending ont eh set up, you might want to make the share public, assuming your system is assumed safe.

Thanks for your help Chris but it seems that i´m still having problems to write to that shares folders. Despite i´ve writable = yes set in smb.conf for that shares.

Any tip ?

Thanks again,

Gabriel.

Can you give us some more specifics? For example: If your share on Linux is /etc/share, then what are the permissions on /etc/share? Who has rights to it?

What does the shares Section of your smb.conf file look like?

Using the orientation you give i could manage with the problem. It seems there´s no right to write to that folder.

Thanks again,

Gabriel.
