[Samba] write access to shares on PDC faulty (samba 2.2.6)
Hi, I just configured samba (2.2.6) on a Linux box (2.4.18) to act as a PDC. I can bring W2K PCs into the domain, and I can read the data on exported shares. However, when I try to write data, the following occurs: 1. trying to create directories (AKA folders :-) from the W2K GUI using "New Folder": Error Message Box "Unable to create the folder 'New Folder'. Cannot create a file when that file already exists." Nevertheless, a folder "New folder" is created. 2. Trying to copy a file to the share Error Message "Cannot copy ...: The specified network name is no longer available." When trying to copy files from a linux box onto the same share (then mounted via smbmount), also a write error occurs (permission denied). the file permission modes are properly set. I am not so experienced with samba, but my guess is: something is wrong with the file locking. Any helpful comments and hints appreciated.

[Samba] write access to shares on PDC faulty (samba 2.2.6)
On your share unix directory must be valid unix permission set if not write is not possible... When your share is btw PUB and is on /home/samba/pub then try change perm chmod 777 /home/samba/pub and then try create dir under PUB share on client. PUB share must be set writable in smb.conf. Best is create groups for users and set perm 775 but user logged to samba must exist in group in linux... Secondary problem is possible by your filesystem for share dir. If you use fat problem with filenames is possible then try copy filename with 8.3 conv and long names can not work... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dr U.
