Samba: Access Deined, no Write Privilages

[Loki3]

I have a gentoo samba server. My Mandrake client can't write to the shares in question. Reading is no problem. I have the tag 'writeable = yes' enabled in smb.conf and the user is added to the valid user list. I changed the permissions on the actual share directory on the server but that didn't seem to make a difference. I get the error, "Permission Deined to /mnt/kryton/public/New Folder", when I try and create and new folder there. I don't understand what's going on. Is Mandrake incorrectly mounting the directory? Where else should I check for incorrect permissions?

Is your user a member of the same group? Is /mnt executable?

If this is on the directory you created, make sure you have this in your config under that share:

create mask=0755
directory mask = 0755

That should give the creator full permission on the created folder.
