I did this force user and group to enable everybody in the company to read and write to the shared folder... I am just completely unhappy that the Windows works 100% and the Linux not... This is just wrong :( Be that as it may...If you don't feel like breaking your head on this, could you maybe help me with creating a samba conf that would require no authentication, and have read/write access for all... This was the original idea....Just a simple shared folder for all on the network.
