Ok, Samba is up and running. I can see the share I set up. However, I can not write to it. What I'd like to have is for the default to be read only and allow only certain users to write to it. So I set the read only property to yes then I supplied users for write and admin previledges. I log into my XP box as administrator and map to the share but I still can't write to it. I tried turning the read only setting off and still could not write to it. Any help? Here's my current smb.conf. # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2004/11/11 09:35:39 # Global parameters [global] server string = Linux Server interfaces = eth1 security = SHARE preferred master = Yes ldap ssl = no [Data] path = /Data admin users = root, admin, administrator write list = root, admin, administrator guest ok = Yes -- "We should have a way of telling people they have bad breath without hurting their feelings.
