this is a silly question, but I'm not grabbing linux file permissions. I shared a public folder in samba in the normal way (smb.conf), and gave a group permissions to use it (my 'everyone' group). I can see the folder, in samba, but I can't read/write.

the path is /home/share

Does the parent folder need to have the appropriate permissions? Do I need to change the owner of this directory?

Where are shared directories usually stored?

I've read up on file permissions, I even think there's an nhf, but putting it into practice....


thanks
