Samba access prblem

Iyyappan — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 20:30:35 GMT

I have given samba access to user with wire permission.

But user could not create or modify the files
Please find the smb.conf file below:

comment = Download Reports
path = /reports
read only = Yes
write list = trakesh
guest ok = no

Directory Permission:

drwxrwxr-x 5 trakesh info 13312 Feb 25 15:06 reports

Please help me out

Shalom,

read only = Yes

People can't write there with the share marked like that.

Does the "workgroup = " setting in the smb.conf file match the workgroup/domain used by the client?

If you haven't specified the workgroup setting, default value is "workgroup = WORKGROUP". So your write-listed (or admin-listed) user "trakesh" is actually "WORKGROUP\trakesh" in Windows style.

If your client connects as COMPANYDOMAIN\trakesh, samba naturally thinks it isn't the same user as WORKGROUP\trakesh and treats you as a nobody.

Users are belogs to windows domain, i have maped them in the username.map files(samba)
