ok ok I have set up a public directory under /home/public on a linux machine
configured as a Samba Server.
The configuration of the /etc/smb.conf file is like this:
[public]
comment = Public directory
path = /home/public
browseable = Yes
writeable = Yes
I can see the directory from a w98 client and can open/run the files. But I
do not have write access to them.
What's wrong???
Pleezz help

If not, you have to give that users permision, or use force user = <some user that can write to the directory.> Mikkel
Dose the user on the win98 machine have UNIX write permission on the directory /home/public?

Try # chmod 0777 /home/public # chmod 0666 /home/public/* and add the lines create mode = 0666 directory mode = 0777 to your [public] section in smb.conf This should give r/w permission to *all* users and create new files/dirs with the appropriate permissions.
