Hi, I currently serve three WinXP machines with their home directories and a read only archive directory. this all works fine. I want to supply a communal directory that everyone can read and write to. I thought it would be straight forward, but it hasn't been and I do not know why.
I created a directory \mnt\store\pub\everyone and made it 777. I added the following to samba.conf [share] comment = Shared guest ok = yes writable = yes create mask = 777 directory mask = 777 force user = root force group = root map archive = yes map system = yes map hidden = yes locking = no path = /mnt/store/pub/everyone public = yes The didectory appears on the Windows machine, but Windows users have no access. What is the most likely thing I have got wrong? Anyone help. Keith -- ___________________________________ _ Keith O'Connell. -o) Maidstone, Kent.
