My user is logged in to the Samba Server.
smb.conf has the following:
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
create mask = 0775
directory mask = 0775
browseable = No
writeable = Yes
The files in the user's home directory are set to chmod 777.
What do I need to do to enable the user to write to her Directory?

For me try: - look at the log files and see with which "unix user" your user log in. - on server, login as root, "su - unix_user" and try to open/modify a file in the user home directory. For me you can't, so it's a permission problem since the configuration are ok. Michele

What group do they belong to? Is the user a member of that group? Has the user account been enabled? What happens when you do pdbedit -v <username> on the Samba server?
