Hi, i have a samba-server running with several users and each of them has its own directory on the server. also, i did some public-accessible directories. All user-directories work fine, but not the public-accessibles, which restricts write-access. what i've done. - generating the users in /etc/passwd and merging them in group samba - adding those users in /etc/samba/smbpasswd - adding the sections in /etc/samba/smb.conf: [homes] comment = Home Directories path = /users/%U guest ok = no browseable = yes writable = yes create mask = 775 [public] path = /public public = yes writable = yes create mask = 775 - mounting the shares with a shell-script after a successful samba-login: sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=/$HOME/.smb,rw,uid=$UID,gid=samba //server/$USER /home/$USER/winhome sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=/$HOME/.smb,rw,uid=$UID,gid=samba //server/public /home/$USER/winpublic ...so why, why, can't i write in my public folders??? ah yes...rights... 2 drwxrwxr-x 8 samba samba 4096 30. Jul 08:36 public i just thougth, it should be enough, running the appropriate passwd-rights on the shares?? Thanks for your help! Roger
