Ok this is probably an easy answer but i cannot figure it out :D suppose i have a folder named /home/samba/tmp and i made it possible for every one on the network to see this folder, how would i make it so that every one can write to this folder? in smb.conf i set writable to yes, but i know that isnt all i need to do, HELP! :) :) :)

Have you set the appropriate file permissions on the Linux file system? For everyone to be able to write to the file, your permissions should look something like:

drw-rw-rw- 1 owner group size date time tmp

The first "d" signifies directory
The 3rd rw- gives the world read/write permissions.

chmod is the utility to change these permissions. To set the permissions as above, type:
chmod 666 tmp

To recursively change all sub-directories and files within the tmp directory, type:
chmod 666 tmp -R

Hope this helps :)
