Hi, to all on this list,

I've had them already when I started SWAT, but I deleted them and created
them again. I made sure the path excisted.

I have no "user Nobody". I've deleted all of those settings (I think).
I've used an allready excisting user to access the Linux-box from the
W'98-box. I've even checked the group settings and they seem to be fine.
I have two users and the root. I only use the first user. The second was
'just collecting dust on the bookshelf'.
The two users are "standard users" created when i installed Linux. No
modifications.
I have a line in the config file that says: read only = no. That means it's
readable and writable, right?
Could you please give me some more information on the directory settings?
Just to be sure.
(I thought the mask-settings were correct in the config-file)

I've deleted the @staff-option for the /home/samba/data from the conf-file
in a troubleshoot attempt. I thought the security was to tight with that
option turned on. I forgot to put it back in there.
How do I give a user Staff permissions? I can't remember that I saw that
option somewhere.

I need to have full read and write access on those directories.
Do I need to change the conf to:
read only = no (= full read and write access)
Guest = no
or
read only = yes
guest =ok (is full read and write access)
Or am I missing something?
I think it's strange that the user logging in from the W'98-box has access
to the TMP directory, but has no access to the public and data directory.
I hope this problem can be solved,
Remon,
(Linux-newbie)
