In my last email I forgot to mention my "uname -a" and my smb.conf [global] server string = File Server Sappho %v log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m map to guest = nobody hosts allow = 218.193.55. security = share encrypt passwords = no bind interfaces only = 218.193.55.205 dos charset = 936 unix charset = UTF-8 [music] comment = /var/music path = /var/music guest ok = yes read only = no Later I am aware that Windows NT (including XP) probably doesn't work with "encrypt passwords = no" so I removed that line, the result is, Windows XP user can always map the share as user "music" but after mounted the user still don't have permission to write to the share. Sambe log shows the user is still "nobody" but not "music".
