Hi everybody, I'm having issues with samba. When I try to see my shares from a Windows 2000 station, I get the following error message: I've checked the log file, I could see that these errors always have to do with the /root/tmp folder, whose permissions I think it is allright: [root@printerserver2 /root]#ls -la ... drwxrw-rw- 2 root root 4096 Feb 9 16:54 tmp/ .. So, what's the problem? Why does this error ( Can't change directory to /root/tmp (Permission denied)) happen? I would be so thankful to anyone who could help me on this, I'm really stuck on this thing :( here is the log file.
