[SOLVED] Write-access in samba share

[vontez]

I am running a Samba 3 server, and I am able to browse the shared files over the network, but I cannot write to my shared folder from a windows machine. What do I need to do to allow this?

Here's my smb.conf:

[global]
security = share
restrict anonymous = no
domain master = no
preferred master = no
max protocol = NT
ldap ssl = No
server signing = Auto
server string = Lappy486

[DOCUMENTS]
path = /home/vontez/Documents
read only = no
writable = yes
case sensitive = no
msdfs proxy = no
guest ok = yes

do poeple have write permissions to the folder itself?

If your a windows person, i think the smb.conf is similar to the share permissions, and the user rights on the files themselves are like the NTFS permissions....people need both to write to the folder.

authentication is just as easy, especially if your willing to put PAM into play you can setup single sign in, you could add users to the unix box and give them smbpasswd 's of their own group ie admins, teachers, students. then use those groups to apply seperate permissions to each share

Oops, good suggestion. I changed the permissions on the shared folder, and that fixed the problem. Thanks.
