I have a server in my house (print and file) that is driving me nuts with file access. Basically, its a shared drive and neither my wife or I can write to the drive as normal users, if I log in as root, I can write to the drive. Because it happens to both she and I, I think it has something to do with permissions or the fstab entry. But in the fairness of full disclosure, I have tired to provide all relavent info.
The drive is a secondary drive mounted in the server and is accessable as /mnt/share to both clients the fstab line covering the mounting is: /dev/hdb3 /mnt/share ext2 rw,user,exec,dev 0 0 She accesses it through Samba, and smb.conf is: [global] path = /var/spool/samba smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u domain master = yes printing = cups dns proxy = no postscript = yes encrypt passwords = yes use password server option only with security = server socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = /etc/printcap max log size = 50 hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127. password level = 8 printer = Epson passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* username level = 8 security = user unix password sync = Yes local master = yes workgroup = SOUTH_PARK netbios name = cartman log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m guest account = guest load printers = yes os level = 33 username map = /etc/samba/smbusers [share] comment = Tunes and Other Stuff path = /mnt/share read only = no writable = yes public = yes browsable = yes I access it through NFS and exports contains: /mnt/share *(rw,no_root_squash) Permissions on the directories below /mnt/share are group=users and mode 777. do you guys have any idea why as normal users we cannot read and write to this drive?

So I installed Linux and lived happily ever after. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
