I am new to the list so my problem is likely redundant, however I have tried
to resolve it myself, to no avail.
I am using Samba on a remote Linux system to offer Windows clients access to
data being collected by a real-time system. The real-time data collection
systems are built on the RH 8 Linux distribution. I also have one that was
built using the RH Fedora Core 1 distribution. The data collection software
runs as root (yes I do know its not the best way but for a number of reasons
it is most convenient and the system ONLY runs the one application).
This system is an isolated subnet with only 6 boxes, 5 are Linux data
collection systems and the 6th is a Windows 2000 GUI box.
The problem arises when Windows client try's to access the data. It gets an
"Access Denied" message.
>From the default smb.conf - the following are my changes from the default...
workgroup = WORKGROUP
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
security = share
[filestore]
comment = Digital Data Files
path = /filestore
public = yes
writable = yes
create mask = 0777
directory mode = 0777
I am not a Linux guru, however is do have some experience with both Samba
and Linux.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Mike
