 |
|
I have two computers networked via a linksys router here. What I would like is for my gentoo laptop to give access to my windows98 computer such that the windows computer can upload files for testing web pages. Ideally, I would like to have the /home/peter dir shared for this purpose. I have had minor success, but I am inevitably plagued by permission problems.
Samba is working as expected, as is Apache. I have set up the 'peter' account with useradd, and I have not touched the created dir at all (no chown, or chmod). I really need help with my permissions, so if anyone has any suggestions, could you please be verbose in your postings.
Thanks alot |

This is one way to do it..
| Code: | [global]
server string = foo BoX
netbios name = fooBOx
map to guest = Bad User
guest account = foo
os level = 2
guest ok = yes
security = share
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
interfaces = 192.168.2.2/255.255.255.0
[foo]
comment = foobar
path = /home/foo/foo
read only = yes
public = yes

Did you add the user 'peter' to samba? Take a peek at smbpasswd. You need both a system user (useradd, like you did), and then you need to tell samba about it/enable it with smbpasswd.
Try that, if that fails, grab the logs from /var/log/samba/ and share them with us, along with your config.
