 Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2006 3:28 am Post subject: Samba directory/file access [Solved] |
 |
|
I have attempted to setup samba on a home network (Gentoo <-> windows XP). I am using user access. I can see the files in the directory for the logged in user (have tried with different users). The problem is when I try and access the files I get 'access denied'. I can copy files from my desktop to the server and delete files from the server. I am unable to open file or copy them from the samba server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The problem resides at the files/directories permissions.
Check what permissions the files have in the linux box and you will see that the user from samba is not able to read or write those files.
I assume that the clam module works correctly as you can write and read files. |

| I guess I don't understand. When a user opens a samba share shouldn't they have the permissions as if they logged in their shell account? |

One suggestion is to check the log files and try to find what is wrong at the file access. One possible reason is that the antivirus software is not working correctly.
Check the logs for errors and post again. |

| Thanks for the help. I figured it out on Sunday. It was the antivirus was not working. For clamav the default does not point to the correct sock. |
