Hello I'd like to configure Samba on a test host running Ubuntu so that I have full read/write access from XP to a sub-directory of the root filesystem.
The host is located on a LAN behind a firewall, so security is not an issue, ie. I'd like to configure Samba with no/minimal security. Currently, I can read but can't write. Between /etc/passwd, smb.conf, and access rights to the actual directory, I'm a bit confused about how to configure things. Here are the files: ================= /etc/passwd ... nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/bin/sh ================= /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = LINUX server string = Samba Server %v security = user guest account = nobody ; logs in /var/log/samba/ log level = 3 [share] comment = Ubuntu File Server Share path = /usr/src browsable = yes ;access will be permitted as the default guest user guest ok = yes read only = no create mask = 0755 available = yes public = yes writable = yes ================= ls -al /usr/ drwxr-xr-x 24 1003 users 4096 2011-05-06 13:10 src/ ================= Thank you. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
