Hi My samba server [freebsd 5.3] has 2 users "bignose" and "jeff". If i mount them both from a winxp box, one is writeable the other is not. The weird part is, it all depends on which order I mount them, the second one is always the one that is read-only while the first is always writeable. Here's my config file.. pretty basic as you can see. I guess the only potentially weird part is that jeff is at /usr/home/jeff and bignose is on /mnt/dr2/bignose.. [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Samba Server hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127. load printers = no log file = /var/log/log.%m max log size = 50 security = user encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY interfaces = 192.168.0.1/24 dns proxy = no [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writeable = yes Thanks millions, if anyone has any ideas.
