It's cool. Well, here is my smb.conf # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2004/07/21 20:07:35 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = CYBES4 server string = Samba Server lanman auth = No log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 min protocol = NT1 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 lm announce = No preferred master = No local master = No domain master = No dns proxy = No idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 valid users = santi [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No [samba] path = /home/santi/samba read only = No guest ok = Yes I guess I'm having a permissions problem here. > -- > Scot L.
