Samba Problem

Evilone · 05-20-2003, 05:54 AM

Hi all,

Just a quick question

I have a slack 9 box, all running ok, i added an old NTFS drive, and mounted. Cool. Works good, problem is, i need to share it via samba.

I added the samba share, and it refuses to mount. The reason being that NTFS is read only on my system, now thats fine by me, read only is all i want, but how do i get around the problem of the mapping not working due not enough access privilidges??

Cheers peeps

Exactly what error message does samba give you? Have you tried exporting its from Samba as read-only too?

cheers

The error is innsufficent privilidges..

But when i map to somthing not NTFS it works.

How do i tell samba that its to export it readonly????

you're trying to mount a networked samba share onto a mount point which is actually located ON an ntfs drive? erm... why?? just mount it somewhere else...

erm no,

I have a mounted NTFS drive (working read only)
and i want samba to share it out

problem is, because its read only, i get an error when mounting
Should i be using mask or somthing????

I can get at it from the local machine

did you used the
read only = Yes
option in samba?
