Bula Samba I'm having difficulty in sharing files of my Mandrake 9.1 webserver thru Samba. I am able to see the files thru a W2K client, however upon browsing the error message reads: "the network name cannot be found". A check in the /var/log/syslog reports: "smbd/service.c:make_connection(599) jim-2k (10.0.0.126) Can't change directory to /home/httpd/html/files (Permission denied) If someone has encountered this problem before I'd appreciate your assistance. Oh the smb.conf file reads: [files] path = /home/httpd/html/files writable = yes browseable = yes comment = SOPAC Files create mask = 2664 write list = @fileauthors thanks jim ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Timoci (Jim) Tora Information and Communications Technologies Officer SOPAC South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission Postal Address: Private Mail Bag, GPO, Suva, Fiji Islands Street Address: Mead Road, Nabua, Fiji Islands Tel: +679 338 1377 Fax: +679 337 0040 E-mail: jim@sopac.org Web site: <http://www.sopac.org> Note that the gateway to our mail server limits the size of inward and outward messages with attachments to 1.5MB.
