I changed to the Share permission to give Everyone & Authenticated Users
full control but that had no impact. I also tried remounting the share
to make sure it picked up the new permissions. Still no luck.
Because I have a permament Internet connection, I change the Share
permissions to give Authenticated Users Change & Read access and
Administrators full control. This works as expected with Windows boxes
connecting to shares.
The account I use to connect with is in the Administrator's group in any
event.
I even went so far as to reinstall Debian in case there was a problem
with my setup, which had been upgraded from Potato. This time I
installed directly from Debian/Sarge, using an XFS patched setup CD onto
a new HD. I'm still getting the same problem.
