I am a Samba newbie but I have a samba server running and connect to my established shared directories with My PC no problem but with the other people in the office that use Macs with OSX 10.4.8 I am having the following problem that I cannot figure out On the Mac side the user can connect their home directory on the Linux Server (RedHat Enterprise 3.+ HP Proliant) that matches their user name and password that they are using on the Mac no problem but as soon as try to connect to any other of the shared directories it just errors out. It is not a security issue as I have them read|write|execute enabled and have the them listed in the smb.conf files like this [projects] path = /root/projects read only = no guest = ok Thanks for any pointers.
