samba - Nov 2000 - File Sharing

I have a network with one Linux machine and samba 2.0.7 as well as two 
windows 98 machines.

We use one hard disk on the Linux machine to share important project files. 
Often we create new directories and here is the problem:

The one creating the directory has full access (of course) but the other 
has not!

I put create mode 777 but that is not done.

The folder is /home/tmp but it is shared as a separate share as follows:

[tmp]
    comment = tmp
    path = /home/tmp
    read only = no
    locking = no
    create mode = 777
    force create mode = 777
    write list = root, ulrich, dieter

What is wrong? The same happens for shares outside of /home.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Dieter

Hi Folks,

I got to make the printer working for my domain users authenticating in the
PDC. Cool !
Now, I am trying to provide file sharing service on the same linux box but
authenticating the
users also in the PDC.
Is this possible in the version 2.2.2?

Thanks,

Hi I'm running freesco as a router/web server/email server
with Samba 2.2.8 installed. On my Win 2000 box i have shares to /www and /wwa. I
would like to be able to see all the freesco files and folders on my Win2000
box.

I'M not concerend about security I'M on a private network just the 2
computers. This is stricly for learning as I dont know a lot about Linux and
have truble editing config files and things like that.

Thanks for any help

There are plenty of tutorials for linux beginners on the web. Make your way
to the terminal learn about vi or joe editors and then start by making W2K
and freesco belong to the same workgroup. The key file is /etc/smb.conf.
After editing you want to restart samba. This heavily depends of your
distribution. While you're at the terminal do a man smb.conf. Then define a
share like the examples in smb.conf, e.g. begin with the well known [public]
make sure you alter the path. If you're thinking about sharing the root of
your www server beware of permissions. If you really don't care about
security start with:

   directory mode = 0777
   force create mode = 0777
   force directory mode = 0777
