[Samba] permission problems trying to access subdirectories of a samba share
Hi. I am having problems accessing subdirectories on a samba share. I am using windows 10 build 10586 and linux kernel 4.1.15-gentoo and samba 4.2.7. I have two shares, one called audio and the other called myshare. I cannot access the subdirectories in the myshare share. Here are the definitions. [myshare] comment = root directory path = / #fake oplocks = yes writable = yes printable = no create mask = 0765 [audio] comment = audio directory path = /audio writable = yes printable = no create mask = 0765 In windows, I access myshare using the root username and password, in audio I access using the user name covici and its password. The audio share works fine, the myshare windows cannot access any subdirectory. I either get the handle is invalid or a message saying I have permission problems. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici covici at ccs.covici.com

By sharing '/' you are giving your users access to the entire directory, do you really want to do this? Rowland
