I'm not sure you gave enough information to help you, so I'll throw out the basics. Just like on Windows Server, there are 2 sets of permissions you have to deal with. Share permissions, which are the permissions the user has through the share, and file permissions, or the permissions the user has on the directory itself. Share permissions are the ones you setup in SAMBA. File permissions are the ones you setup in the OS. The user (or group) has to have permission in both places to be able to write. You can set the Samba permissions to Group write, but if the group (or user) doesn't have permission to write to the folder, it still won't work.
I like to refer to http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/small.html#id2553063 Step number 13 to remember how to set the folder permissions. (chmod -R ug+rwx,o+rx-w /data) (This assumes you setup all your shared folders as subfolders of /data...) This is the same in Windows (at least W2Kserver, last I used) You can share a folder, but you still have to setup user/group permissions on the folder itself in order for it to work. HTH, and sorry if you already knew this.... Dennis -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christoph P.
