Fwd: [opensuse] Sharing folders with Samba

However, after double checking the configurations of both directories in samba server, now both directories are not accessible from Windows. I am not sure, but I think that this issue is related to Samba server configuration. I have already deleted in samba configuration any other folders shared by default by samba.

I have setup on my openSuSE 10.3 box a Samba server. Two folders from my home folder are shared, but only one folder is accessible from a WinXP box. The other folder is visible, but I cannot enter in. The error message is:
\\bogdan\fax is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.
However, both folders were shared using the same options. Do you have some suggestions how to solve this issue?
How about permissions on the directory on the Linux machine? Will they allow access to a Windows user?

You might look at the firewall setting. Turn off the firewall in yast an see if they are seen. If they are then its the firewall not letting them get out. yast should let you configure the firewall to allow samba services to be seen on the network. jack -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Do you have the "x" execute bit set? Remember in samba the "x" gives descend into directory permission. Make sure you "chmod 0755 dirname" or at least "chmod 0750 dirname" on the directory you can't see and I'll bet you can see it then. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Actually, the x bit is required to do more than enumerate the contents of a directory (e.g., to open a file within that directory or to cd into it) in all Unix and Linux systems and has nothing to do with Samba. Conversely, one need not have read access to a directory to access an entry within it if you know the name (and the x bit is set). Without read access, you will not be able enumerate the directory's contents to discover what's in there.
