Okay, I am starting fresh. I made a new directory in the root directory, /media, and chmod'ed it 775 recursively. /media and everything in it has rwx for everyone in the "media" group:
drwxrwxr-x 5 root media 4096 Oct 1 2006 media "root", "bblackmoor", and "smbguest" are all members of the "media" group. I deleted the old "media" share and created a new "media" share for the above directory, set it to guest access, set the guest as smbguest, and set samba to use SHARE permissions: [global] workgroup = MORTSHIRE server string = Samba Server security = SHARE guest account = smbguest log level = 3 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 os level = 33 preferred master = Yes local master = No domain master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes guest ok = Yes hosts allow = 192.168.1., 127.0.0.1 cups options = raw [media] comment = testing media share path = /media writeable = yes browseable = yes guest ok = yes So, according to what I have spent all week reading, I should be able to connect to this share as a guest and see what's in it.

The behavior is exactly the same. I am open to suggestions. Am I the only person who has ever had this problem? -- Brandon Blackmoor [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-04-06 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
