Samba problem - can't delete directories

[Dave Anderson]

Client WinXP

Server - Slack 7.1 w/Samba 2.2.1a

Have various Samba shares on the Slack machine that I'm accessing through WinXP. Can create directories, files, and delete files just fine. What I can't do is delete directories, even ones that I create. I telnet in and the permissions are fine. And if I telnet in as that user, I can delete the directory manually. Just can't do it through Windows. Ideas?

Everything is being is being created in my home directory. Here's the bit from smb.conf:

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = yes
writable = yes
create mask = 0775

[error27]

wierd...

Is there a log or something in /var/log ?

[Fimbulvetr]

Remember there are both Samba permissions, and file/directory permissions.

Has the username being used for access been entered into smbpasswd file?

This file often gets overlooked.

Good Luck,

Try commenting out the create mask line.
