Samba problem with write access

Samba problem with write access

Post by Mark Halegu » Mon, 11 Jun 2001 04:10:29



I'm haveing a problem connecting with write access to a public directory
on a Linux server (running SUSE 7.0) and mounting it on a Linux SuSE 7.1
workstation/client.

The server is suse70server, the share is SuSE70-Public.

The smb.conf area for [SuSE70-Public] has writeable=yes and create
mask=777

On the client, I'm mounting the share using

mount -t smbfs -o username=usernamd,password=password
//suse70server/SuSE70-Public /home/mark/network

I do get the mount, but only as a read only.

I've tried adding an additional -o rw command, it doesn't help.

I've looked at the mount command faq and in several texts and it looks
like I'm doing this correctly.

What am I missing?

Mark

You may need to specify the parameter "uid=<local user id on linux>" to make
the SAMBA mount, mount as the user which is specified in the smbmount command.

See ya

1. SAMBA - No write access to shares!

I have my Win98 PC and Linux connected by Samba and I am able to view
the shares I have setup, but I don't have write access. How do I get
write access?

Before you answer a few notes:

I have Linux dual booting with Win2k and the two partitions for Win2k
are C and D and are Fat32. Linux is on its own partition.

When I installed Linux I called these drives /dosc and /dosd and these
are the drives I want to be able to access from Win98.

The following is the sections of my smb.conf file to map these drives.

                   [C]
                      comment = C Drive
                      path = /dosc
                      valid users = Name
                      public = no
                      read only = no
                      writeable = yes
                      printable = no
                      create mask = 0765

                   [D]
                      comment = D Drive
                      path = /dosd
                      valid users =Name
                      public = no
                      read only = no
                      writeable = yes
                      printable = no
                      create mask = 0765

Given this information, how can I get write access to these drives
from Win98?

2. -new to Linux: use of TIN and ELM
