I would suggest you first look at your logfiles. This should give you SOME kind of clue. Turn up the log level if need be.

I have changed from using samba version 2.0.3 running on SCO OpenServer 5 to
samba version 3.0.11 running on RedHat 8.0

My client computer is Windows XP. The problem also exists on Windows NT. The
Windows XP computer has MKS Toolkit 8.7 The Windows NT computer has
NuTCRACKER 4.2 These products provide Unix APIs to aid in porting
applications from Unix to Windows.

From my command shell, I can issue a cat command to list the contents of a
file, which exists on my server just fine. If however I try to open that
same file programatically, then, I get a permission denied error.

I have included a copy of the smb.conf file at then end of this email.

Any suggestions as to what could be wrong, and how to correct it. It seems
that this is a problem with the samba software, unless of course the MKS or
NuTCRACKER software exploited some previous bug that has now been fixed.

My hope is that I can change some setting in the samba to correct this.

Thank you for any assistance.

Mark
