Hey, I'm relatively new at the whole Linux thing, but I've managed to set up a very simple Samba server which I use as, basically, a really huge network harddrive. Given the current settings, I'm able to write and read through the RW accounts I specified through Windows XP Pro, but I can only seem to browse the very same Samba share on Mac OS 10.3. Whenever I try to copy or create a file (also, it only is a problem with files, regardless of name or extension - directories I can create and modify with ease through OSX), I get the following error:
The operation could not be completed because you do not have sufficient access privilages to "--> local file I'm trying to copy to Samba <--."
I checked my permissions in OS X on all the files I want to copy over to Samba, and I have full read/write/admin access to every file that I've tried to copy.
I don't think it's a problem with how I've configured smb.conf, since - using the same login, password, and Samba share - on Windows I can write files to it. But I'm the newbie, so I've reprinted my *very simple* Samba configuration file below:
[global]
workgroup = home
encrypt passwords = yes
security = user
[Guest]
comment = Guest Access
path = /home/fileshare
read only = yes
guest ok = yes
[Super Guest]
comment = Guest Acces w/rw permissions
path = /home/fileshare
writeable = yes
guest ok = no
[Evan's Files]
comment = Evan's Files
path = /home/evan
writeable = yes
guest ok = no
The idea behind my setup was to provide a general guest account, so users could access but not modify my main fileshares, a super guest account (distributed to some close friends) that would allow them to upload and modify my main fileshares, and my own personal file share with stuff that only I want remote access to. But I need Samba to work with both my Windows and Mac machines, since I have material (and users) on both platforms. Any suggestions to a solution?
