Hi
I have setup a small network with a samba server on a linux box and several
Win95/98/NT clients. The server offeres access to an Iomega Zip Drive. The
drive is mounted during preexec, with user id and group id of the
requester. Here are the relevant sections from smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = DSPSOLUTIONS
netbios name = CALEB
encrypt passwords = Yes
null passwords = Yes
time server = Yes
deadtime = 1
domain master = Yes
wins support = Yes
guest account = pcguest
dos filetimes = Yes
...
[zip]
path = /share/zip
valid users = @dspx, @dspp ,@dspa
read only = No
create mask = 0666
force create mode = 0666
directory mask = 0777
force directory mode = 0777
max connections = 1
strict sync = Yes
sync always = Yes
fake oplocks = Yes
root preexec = /usr/bin/zipmount %u %g
The zip media is formated by Windows 95. The fstype during mount is set to
auto. Everything works fine for the NT client. I can copy and read all
kinds of files, no limitation to size. With my Win95/98 clients, however, I
am only able to copy small files to the zip. I haven't tested the limit,
but small is about 100k and large is around 1MB. The error message box
tells me that access is denied and I should check if the disk isn't full,
write protected or accessed by another user. Nothing o this applies.
Can anyone help?
regards
oliver
