Phillip,

    It sounds like a file permission problem. Here are my permissions:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /root]# ls -al /home/samba
total 40
drwxrwxr-x    9 root     root         4096 Apr  5 16:45 ./

drwxrwxr-x   32 root     rbpllc       4096 Aug 27 10:17 rbpllc/

In my smb.conf I use:

[Rankin]
        path = /home/samba/rankin
        valid users = @rankin
        force group = rankin
        writeable = Yes
        map archive = Yes
        inherit permissions = Yes

I don't have any problems doubleclicking on word docs and having them open.

Subject: [Samba] can't open files off of samba shared drive on
w2k/xpworkstations




Hi,

I have somewhat successfully got Samba working where as users can map
the drives to their win2k/xp workstations and wrote to the folders
they are given permissions to.  They can write to the folder, delete
folders, write files, delete files, view the file listing, however,
they can't open files.  For instance, if there is a word document,
they can't just double click on the share and work on the file right
off of the share.  They have to go through the trouble of dragging the
file to their desktop, make their changes and then copy it back
overwriting whatever changes they made before.  Is there an entry in
the smb.conf file that I'm missing?

I am running samba 3.0 on gentoo 2002.4

thanks in advance,

Phill
