Re: [Samba] permission denied from winxp box to samba share.
Jason, You need to give users write permission on the linux box before they will be able to write to the share. Try: chmod 777 /usr/local/share/sambashare on your linux box. That should do the trick.

Re: [Samba] Files missing when using windows XP and samba - not size-dependent
Hi again folks, Contrary to what I wrote yesterday, further testing has shown that whether a file is missing or not does not depend on the file size. Unlike Stuart Bailey, renaming the missing files did not help my situation. I have so far determined that which files are missing does not depend on permissions, file name or file size. All files are visible on the Windows client (as they should be) with Samba 3.0.0; some files become invisible with Samba 3.0.14a. I have not tried any intermediate versions of Samba, so I do not know when this "bug" was introduced. Is anyone else seeing this? Any troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Paul Paul Dunphy wrote: Hi Stuart, By any chance, are the missing files very large? I am having a similar problem with Samba 3.0.14a on Irix 6.5.17, and in my case it appears to be related to file size. Large files (>1.2 GB) and the folders containing them do not show up on the Windows client. This problem did not exist in my previous version of Samba, 3.0.0 (which I've been forced to revert to). Cheers, Paul Stuart Bailey wrote: Hi, I am using Fedora Core 3 as a server for both Unix (Solaris and HPUX) and Windows Xp clients. The Unix clients view the files through an NFS v3 share, and windows client use samba (3.0.8-0.pre1.3). When looking at a directory from the server, or from a Unix client, I can see 132 files. However, from the Windows client, I can only see 65 files. There appear to be nothing special about the files names (we have already removed spaces etc from the filenames incase they caused a problem). If I mount the samba shares via smbfs on the server (to a new mount point), I can see all 132 files, so I suspect the problem is not samba. I have checked the file permissions, and although they have various owners, all permissions are 666. There seems to be no consistency between files that are missing. I have tried a number of different Xp machines and they all exhibit the same symptoms. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Many thanks Stuart. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] Missing files on Windows client side
Hi all, I am experiencing a problem similar to Joop Martens' post from last week re. missing folders using Samba 3.0.14a (the problem does NOT occur if I run my previous version, Samba 3.0.0). The platform I am running on is Irix 6.5.17f, which makes me think this problem is not limited to AIX. What I'm finding is that folders containing more than about 1.2 GB of files will not show up in Windows Explorer on the 2000/XP client. As with Mr. Martens, if I type the full UNC path into Explorer the contents will be displayed correctly. When I log in to the Irix box and list the files everything appears as it should, and permissions appear to be fine. I am just beginning to debug this problem now, so I'm hoping to send more details once I've investigated this further. In the meantime, any suggestions, comments or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
