I am using FC3 and samba-3.0.9-1.fc3. I am trying to make an area public for use by other machines on my home network. I have the following in my smb.conf file: # This one is useful for people to share files [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = no public = yes Otherwise my smb.conf is pretty much unchanged. I can mount this share on localhost, but I cannot write to it. I have read through the docs, and the examples from the smb.conf file, and I thought I was doing everything correctly. The above is in fact one of the examples in the smb.conf file. I mount it with the following command: mount //slim/mustmp src -o user=tatters,uid=tatters,gid=tatters,fmask=777,dmask=777,rw That works. I can read the files, and the output of ls -l says I own the files and have write permission, but I still cannot write to those files. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? Thanks Derek Tattersall
