I have ubuntu 8.04 very simple files serving running XFCE. I have two files that are shared, these are accessed by several computers running XP. Problem is one of the files will not allow me to write to from the XP mach. this happened after I deleted that share from the smb.conf file and re-entered it. The other file is still fine. I have cut and past the smb.conf file. Can someone tell me what I can do to get the write ability back to it. [sharepoint] is working fine, [files] is the one that is not letting the XP computers write to it.

Fixed the issue, down in the [files] are the force user should have been tech since that was listed as the owner for that file... so changed the smb.conf file and re-started it. All is well.

Do the /share/global and /share/files have sufficent rights and ownership? cu jth
