I'm fighting with samba on a new CentOS 5.1 install.
The goal here is to have unix/linux usernames/passwords used for the
samba shares (which i'll setup using webmin, as I find it easy that
way). At present, the home share and one for the company's public
share are in place.
I can see the server, browsing from WinXP to \\172.16.0.106, but
permissions seem amiss. I should be able to read/write to a given
share but it seems to be ro.
Any pointers or advice would be greatly appreciated.
My simple smb.conf file is here:
[global]
netbios name = BACKUP
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
force directory mode = 777
unix password sync = yes
workgroup = WORKGROUP
force create mode = 777
os level = 20
encrypt passwords = yes
security = share
public = yes
passdb backend = smbpasswd
directory mode = 777
[homes]
writeable = yes
public = yes
path = /home
[company data]
comment = company data
writeable = yes
create mode = 775
path = /home/share1
Thanks in advance,

If you are going to use smb passwords anyway, why set security to "share?
You should set security to "user" and make sure you keep unix users and
samba users synced. For public shares you can set a shared user and
group, and make shared directories keep those perms.
The problem is that all these shares are set as 'public' so you'll
connect as a guest user - which I don't see defined - and unless the
unix file system is writable by the guest you'll only have read access.
With user level security you can't connect to different shares as
different users, so if you remove the 'public' from the home section (as
you probably should) and let people connect as themselves, they will
have to also connect as themselves to the public shares.
