Imagine the following situation:
- computer 1 has linux running and there is a vfat partition mounted
- computer 1 is running samba on that vfat partition (i.e. the vfat
partition is a share of samba)
- computer 2 wants to have write acces on the samba share
The problem is, that computer 2 has no write acces, because the vfat
partition is mounted 755.
The samba.conf file is the following:
[public]
comment = Schreibbares Verzeichnis
path=/home/sure/netzwerk/public
public=yes
readonly=no
browseable=yes
create mask=777
How can I make the partition mounted as mod 777 ? Thanks in advance !

This sounds a little tricky.
One problem is that vfat partitions don't have any "real"
permissions. The way you have the samba share coded below with
"public=yes" means samba will use the guest user "Nobody" to
access the vfat files.
If you have the vfat partition mounted at boot time in
/etc/fstab, then it was mounted by root. You might try changing
/etc/fstab to add the "user" option to the vfat partition, then
mount it as user "Nobody". Then, the samba public user should
be able to write to it.

Ah, thank you ! That works fine. The only disadvantage is, that I don`t
have write permission from my linux account. Is there a solution to have
write acces from both systems ?

If you are mounting the vfat as nobody, you might try adding
your own user ID to the group "nogroup".

You could set ownership and umask in fstab.

New subject: Modem USR 5686d pppd dies after connect
Hi, Tried SuSE 7.1 last February, but it would not work with my hard modem.
Bought 7.3 and a US Robotics 5386d and it still will not work. Tried
Intialization string from the USR CD, but does the same thing as only "ATZ".
Error code #17 , can't find "/var/log/syslog.ppp and /var/log/syslog and
/var/log/messages". It connects at 44-48,000, but kppp dies immediately
after connection. The IP help person and I could not figure it out. The
SuSE support documents gave me the intialization tips, but they did not
solve it.
Works great under ME. I first tried Mandrake 8.0, and it did not work,
thought I'd give Linux another, try but to date only Caldera 2.4 was able to
get another older modem working. Quite discouraging for newbies like me who
would like to switch permanently from Windows.
AMD 1.2 512meg RAM AOpen 73pro motherboard. Thanks for any help. Keith
