Hi I have problem connecting with windows XP clients to a sub directory The subdirectory is setup as follows in die smb.conf [wwwshare] comment = www share path = /var/www/html valid users = wwwuser public = no writable = yes printable = no create mask = 0765 I have user level security. The wwwuser is the owner of the html dir. The wwwuser is also the owner of the www dir. I have setup a unix user wwwuser and have set the line in die smbuser wwwuser = wwwuser When I connect to the samba server I can log-in with the wwwuser and password that I have setup. But I can only connect to the samba server's root. when I try to access the wwwshare I get an access denied reponse. When I make a directory in the root of the filesystem that is owned by wwwshare then I can connect to that share with no problem using the wwwuser and password. The error that I get in the log file is listed below.
