Windows users can not delete files from Samba

Hi
Below is my smb.conf file:

Code:



[global]

        workgroup = SEP

        netbios name = MASHIN

        server string = Share for Linux Machine

        map to guest = Bad User

        printcap name = cups

        add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd  -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$

        logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile

        logon drive = P:

        logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile

        domain master = No

        usershare allow guests = Yes

        cups options = raw

        include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf

        security = user



[public]

        comment = Public Folder

        path = /home/public

        public = yes

        writeable = yes

        read only = No

I have a user named publec, and I shared it's home folder /home/public with permission 777. I also have added this user into smbpasswd file, with no password.
User can access to this folder, but the only person who can change/delete the file is the person who have put the file. While I wanna grant this access to everybody to change other files, too.
Do I have to do something else? The umask for public user is 022.

Well... what about the access permissions on the file?
Allowing everyone to alter and delete a file in situ over a network is a bad idea: what happens when two users try to save the same file? Maybe one wants to delete it while another is working on it?

The standard way around this is to allow users to copy the file to a location where they can work on it, then copy it to their public folder.

For large collaborative projects, some sort of ftp server is better.

You can either use force-user or add the windows user to the "write list".
