Okay, now I am truly baffled. I have replaced the current smb.conf as follows: [global] workgroup = MORTSHIRE security = SHARE netbios name = annwn restrict anonymous = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 guest ok = yes [media] path = /media writeable = yes guest ok = yes [mediatest] path = /mediatest writeable = yes guest ok = yes I have deleted the previously created samba users, and created a new samba user "smbguest" with a blank password. There is also a "smbguest" unix user which belongs to the "media" group. I have moved my old /var/media directory to /mediatest (moving it out of /var to the root directory), and I have created a new, empty directory called /media (also in the root directory), and I have chown'd both directories to be owned by root:media, and chmod'd them both 775 recursively: drwxrwxr-x 2 root media 4096 Apr 6 13:31 media drwxrwxr-x 5 root media 4096 Oct 1 2006 mediatest I then copied all of the files from /mediatest (the old directory) to /media (the new directory). Both directories have the exact same unix owners and permissions (recursively). Both directories have the exact same samba permissions. Both directories have the exact same contents. As far as I can tell, the only difference between these two directories is the date each was created. And yet...
