i had my file server setup with suse 10.1, and i did a clean upgrade to
suse 10.2 (if it matters much), now trying to setup samba again, i have
run into a slight problem. on my windows machines, i can access the home
directories of the users, however when i try and get into directories i
setup myself (in my case 'netshare'), it says that the directory is not
accessible. check permissions etc.
my user list: user1, user2
both belong to group: window
permission for the directory '/netshare' is set for 775
'netshare' is owned by user1 in group window
here is the smb.conf file
*** START smb.conf

so why might i be able to access the user directories, but not my self
made one? i have tried adding another that points to another random
directory i created to test out, and that too does not work.
i should mention that /netshare is the mount point for /dev/hdb1 (just a
120GB drive that is used to store shared stuff)
thanks in advance for your help.
