I have a dos partition on my RH5.0 computer that I want to serve with write access to other machines on the network which are running NT4.0 or W95. I have upgraded to Samba 1.9.18p5-1 and have encryption on and passwords set up. All computers can now browse all published shares (including the Dos partition) on the Linux machine but can only write to shares on the Linux partition. I have tried using write lists, guest ok, create masks, as well as different mount types (msdos, vfat, umdos) but cannot figure out how to make the Dos partition writable by these machines. >From my smb.conf, I am currently trying the following: [Data] comment = Data directory path = /data valid users = computer1, computer2, user1, user2 public = no writable = yes printable = no create mask = 0765 One possibly relevant piece of information is that I can only gain access to the shares by using passwords which are assigned to the computer's machine name-I can't get access using a log on with the user's name.
