I am using Samba on a remote Linux system to offer Windows clients access to data being collected by a real-time system. The real-time data collection systems are built on the RH 8 Linux distribution. I also have one that was built using the RH Fedora Core 1 distribution. The data collection software runs as root (yes I do know its not the best way but for a number of reasons it is most convenient and the system ONLY runs the one application).
This system is an isolated subnet with only 6 boxes, 5 are Linux data collection systems and the 6th is a Windows 2000 GUI box. The problem arises when Windows client try's to access the data. It gets an "Access Denied" message. >From the default smb.conf - the following are my changes from the default... workgroup = WORKGROUP hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127. security = share [filestore] comment = Digital Data Files path = /filestore public = yes writable = yes create mask = 0777 directory mode = 0777 I am not a Linux guru, however is do have some experience with both Samba and Linux. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Mike -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
