Bill... very thanx for this help... now I learn more about some permissions issues... I did everything what you said... create the /share, the /docs, the permissions, etc... while I was copying some files, from a win98 client machine to my new /share/docs directory, I was testing in another win98 client machine to see if I could see the files in /share/docs and I seeing... all goes fine... BUT after some minutes, in this same machine (that I was able to see the files), the share is broken again... I can't see the content of share... I can see the share but is like I haven't the right permission So, the /share/docs only works again if I type 'chmod -R 750 /share/docs' again in shell.. maybe some information mine helps... above is my smb.conf.. I'm using Samba to autenticate the users in domain... and the autentication is fine... the users logins without problems... I don't know if I'm saying right, but I'm using two networks one where the users is working (all machines win98, workgroup=PROVENDA, ip fixed) other (?) with my linux server is running a samba with workgroup=PROV and just one machine within this workgroup (to tests the /shares) the files that I was copying was located in a machine in workgroup=PROVENDA, that I was monted throug LinNeighborhood... Plz Bill... any comments??? (the directory name was changed, like you can see, ok? but I think this is no the problem...) Thanx for everything...
