Could you output the /etc/fstab? As far as I know, the major difference
is that writing to NTFS isn't fully supported in Linux (last I checked).
Maybe there is something Samba tries to do, that conflicts with that.
Other than that I don't know, sorry. :-)

First of all, make sure those mounts are accessible for normal users,
if you haven't. It's under the options for the mount in /etc/fstab, I
think. You can always do a 'man fstab' if unsure.
Does the username/password (check out 'smbpasswd') you are using to
connect to samba exist in the samba user database? If not, samba won't
know who you are, and will use the default guest user to access files
(usually very restricted). That might be why you can access the mounts
when you log in to the server, but not through server.
If you go with the first, ALL users will have access. If you want to
restrict it to, say, a certain group, you have to go with the second
solution I think (and add users in the samba user database).
Hope I got the issue correctly, else I dunno :-).

Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
I am using the security level "SHARE" with "guest" enabled (I have only
two machines on my network).
The mounts are accessible by normal users (like "ale"), the permissions
in '/mnt/w2k/' are 'rwxr-xr-x', the owner is "root" and group "wheel".
I would like to add that I also have another share that is a FAT32
partition (WinXP) and I can browse it from the other machine (like
everything else).
I tried to map the guest account to the user "ale" that I use (and I can
access '/mnt/w2k'), but nothing happened.
This only happens in a NTFS mount point. The files and directories show
as truncated, and I can not "see" (determine size, copy, determine
if it is a file or directory, etc.) them until I do an operation over
them with any normal user in the server, then I can see the files/dirs
affected by the operation I did (ls, etc.). Before I only see the
entries (names) without attributes (permissions, directory flag, etc.).
Thanks and Best Regards,
Ale
