I don't get it. Everything I've read, I should be able to write to my [public] share on the Samba server that is using the following smb.conf file. (see [public] section). But I can't! Neither can the other two people listed under "write list" Am I doing something wrong? See below: [global] encrypt passwords = no workgroup=PLAN printing = sysv printcap name = /etc/sambaprintcap load printers = yes guest account = nobody guest ok = yes logfile = /export/home/dstreb/sambalog [homes] comment = Home Directories guest ok = no browseable = yes read only = no create mode = 0777 writable = yes [public] comment = Public Stuff path = /data/data public = yes writable = no printable = no write list= dstreb, tsmith, esacon [printers] browseable = yes writable=no public=yes printable=yes create mode = 0700 Samba 1.9.16p11 on a Sun Sparc20 running Solaris 2.5.1 Clients on Win95 and WinNT. Otherwise no problems with Samba, but I'd really like to allow three users to write to [public] and restrict everyone else to read only access. Thanks for whatever help anyone can provide me.
