if i understand correctly, you have the drive mounted locally, and then are trying to pimp it out with samba. man mount for mount options for the vfat. you can tell it to do several different things, one of which will prolly help you. -- ======================================================================== Rocky McGaugh Atipa Linux Solutions Linux Systems Engineer www.atipa.com rocky@smluc.org rmcgaugh@atipa.com ======================================================================== On Tue, 4 Jan 2000, SuSE List wrote:
Happy New Year everyone...
Ive got my ZIP drive (SCSI) connected up and working as VFAT just fine. I would like to samba share this drive so that I can write to it from other machines on the network of many different OS flavours. The problem is that the filesystem (?!?) is mounted as root (well, thats how I see it =O) so that whilst I can read files on say a Win98 machine, I cant delete them, or write to the drive.
Ive tried playing with the samba side of things to enable it, but this hasn't worked, so I guess its got something to do with mounting the drive in the first place.
Could someone please tell me how to correct this so that all users, or a selected few (by either name or group) have full access to the drive?
Cheers
