Hi I have recently installed samba on a RH7.0 box. This box has win98 + linux rh7 installed and both os's are running well. The F drive on windows is FAT32 and is mounted r/w on linux RH7. Works fine. I also have a Win98se machine that needs to have full read/write access to some partitions on the RH7 box. Samba was found ideal for such setup. The problem I have is that I can't write to the linux/samba shared F partition/drive from the Win98se machine. The linux box is well mounted because I am locally able to write to the vfat F partition. I ensured that the following setings were ok: - shared RH7 F: drive is mounted in vfat read/write; - Samba is configured to make this F: drive readable/writable. I do not know what else has to be configured in order enable the Win 98 to write onto the F drive located on the samba/rh7 machine .... Please help. I also have problems accessing the printer on the Win98 box using the remote linux RH7 box. I will expand on this when the other problem will be solved. Thanks !

Particularly this one: /usr/share/doc/samba-2.0.7/docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt (path assumes you are using the samba version included in RH7) Other things to try is looking for error messages. 1. What errors do you get on the win98? Try searching the list archives for others who have reported similar errors. 2. What errors do you get from samba? (/var/log/samba has a few logfiles) Again, unless their meaning is obvious to you, try searching the list archives for ideas. /Urban
