A little more info would help. Some information from your smb.conf: 1. what does the "security = " line say 2. what does the definition of your share look like Aside from that, who is the owner of /var/www and what are the full permissions on that directory and its contents. -- S C Rigler RHCE #803003335409754 -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Donald Tyler Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 11:26 AM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Samba File Sharing permissions problem Hi, Sorry if this has been asked recently, but I dont have access to my archives at the moment. I just set up a Samba file share of the \var\www directory and I am not able to create or edit its contents from a windows machine even though I set the permissions to Read/Write. I can however create and edit files in my home directory from the windows machine. I would have thought that the file system permissions were not relevant when using the Samba file sharing, or else what would be the point of the Read/Write check box when settings up a file share? Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?
