Sorry for intervening into this thread, but I have some problems with permissions to subdirectories myself. A windows machine should be able to read and write its profiles to a directory called /usr/local/samba/profiles . This works ok for a user with root access to my samba server, but it ends up in "access denied" for any other user (they belong to a group called samba). How do I have to set up the permissions?
And to Scott's problem: please see to remarks at the end of this mail!
