I have a strange samba share problem. I am hoping that someone can shed some light on this problem. I have a directory called /home/warez. Inside of this is music/ and warez/ I have all of my mp3's in music and all my applications in warez. I have both of these directories shared using samba as follows: [music] comment = Music path = /home/warez/music public = yes writable = yes [warez] comment = Warez path = /home/warez/warez public = yes writable = yes As you can see these are both set up identicially. Yet for some reason I am not allowed to rename any files in this share. I get an error message that says: Cannot rename XXX: Access is denied. Make sure that the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use. The directory is not write protected at all. In fact if I use my shell account I am able to go into the same directory and change the name of the file. Also I have no problems in the warez directory. This problem is only valid in the music directory. Also I find that in Windows 2k the drive shows itself as not being connected, yet I can read the files without a problem. Any help is greatly appreciated. Michael

Make sure that both dirs have the same permissions. And when accessing the files accross the network you are useing the correct user account.

Sorry I had meant to write this also, but it was late. Yes, the permissions on the shares are all the same. Also the user account is correct. Any other thoughts are greatly apprecaited.
