I have somehow managed to set SAMBA up so that I can't read my shares (none of them). I can browse them and write files to them, but I can't open them! There is also another user on the network, for which the Samba shares behaves in the exact same way. I would have thought that this behaviour was impossible to get! Thank you for your time!
