[Samba] Can't create files using Mac OSX Client against Samba server on Debian Linux
So I have my Debian Linux (latest stable release) box setup as a Samba server for my home LAN. What I'm trying to do is share a single directory (not a home directory) to any/all computers on the LAN. I have several Windwos client (a mix of Win9x, Win2000, and WinXP) as well as an iBook G3 running OSX 10.2.6. This share works great from all of the Windows clients.>From the iBook, I can read files without any issues. Where I run intoproblems is when I try to drag-and-drop a file from the iBook to the Samba share via the Finder GUI, I get the error message: The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for "filename". I also am unable to create files on the share using File->Save from any GUI-based apps (e.g. TextEdit). Strangely enough, if I open a Terminal window on the OSX client, and cd to the share (in /Volumes), I can copy/create/delete files to my heart's content. I'm sure it must have something to do with those pesky resource files. In my smb.conf file I have "hide dot files = no", and "hide files" and "veto files" are undefined. For kicks, I also tried enabling "map system", "map hidden", and "map archive" to no avail. Any more suggestions? -Tom _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?
