I installed the latest version of Ferdora Core 5 with samba. The installation of Ferdora is fine, and I can see the shares I have set up on my Win XP Pro machine. But, there is a problem with the rights. I have made the files on the linux box 777, but I can still not write to the files. It is as though the files are still read only, even though they should be read/write. I am also having a problem implementing the users into the groups though Webmin. When I create a new user under Webmin and then go to add them to the groups I have set up it gives me an error. Says it does not have the right rights to add in the users and passwords. I have two other linux machines running with no problems, one is running Ferdora Core 1 the other Core 2. Has anyones else had any problems with Core 5 not letting users write to the shares even though the rights are set to 777? Thanks, Yvon Dubinsky E-Commerce Admin DMP Corporation
Same issue with me and I posted with the list yesterday only. Hope to hear from some experts. Yvon Dubinsky <ydubinsky@dmpcorp.com> wrote: I installed the latest version of Ferdora Core 5 with samba.

Have you tried to add "public = yes" to share to see if that helps?
For example:
[Sharename]
writeable = yes
path = /opt/samba/software
force group = users
force user = ron
public = yes
create mode = 777
directory mode = 777
