Server -> FreeBSD 4.2 Client -> Slackware 7.1 Samba 2.0.7 Sharity Light 1.1 I've used Samba many times, even with Shlight, and had excellent results. But I'm currently doing something wrong and I don't have a clue what it is. I can connect just fine, browse and copy files, but I cannot write to my mounted directories. The directories have the correct permissions and appear writable but when attampting to cp a file into the directory bash returns an error. Can someone enlighten me please? I'm going nuts here. Shlight and Samba are compiled from source, no extra flags.
