I can't reproduce the problem on Jaunty. I created a symlink and shared it using your parameters, I could successfully write to the resulting share. So maybe the issue comes from somewhere else ?
Please try a simple local link/share like this and let me know if it works for you: $ mkdir real $ ln -s real shared [shared] path = /home/scott/shared writeable = yes browseable = yes valid users = scott -- samba shares of symlinks are always read-only https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/380715 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
