Hello Samba group, Problem:
I cannot get samba share to grant access to my /shared share. I created it, gave the linux user permissions and tested them, my Windows XP Pro sees the share, I can map a drive to it, but I cannot change to it: Access denied is the error I get. I'm logged into Windows XP as the same user ID and password as on the Linux system. I had a problem when accessing the share at first with Windows prompting me for a userID and password, but I did the smbpasswd command, and got that working. Then I could see the shares. I can see the shares, I can map, for example, the J: drive to "shared", but cannot switch to it by typing: "J: enter". Testparm has no errors. Here are the results: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[homes]" Processing section "[printers]" Processing section "[shared]" Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions # Global parameters [global] workgroup = Testgroup server string = Samba Server log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 500 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = No ldap ssl = no idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 hosts allow = 10.200.1.

Thanks for any assistance. I cannot understand what I am doing wrong. It is not obvious, this time, or the last time- 1.5 years ago - when I ran into the same problem: I cannot even create a simple share. I have 9000 samba books, read everything I can think of, and it is just not obvious to me, what I am doing wrong. I always get 90% of the way to a simple share. If you need more info to help me, just ask. Thanks for your time. -Chad __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start.
