Perhaps I missed this in the threads, but are you sure you have the proper permissions set on the directory/files you are having Samba access? Samba can access what you point it to, but the basic permissions in your linux file system also need to be set to allow that user as well. You have to set both. I've never used this for a specific user, but have a share set up with file access to allow guests and all users can read/write. This suits my particular purpose for home network sharing. Fine tuning that should work. In older versions of Suse, Swat worked very well, and still probably does, but I find the Yast Samba tools to be very good now.
On the permissions, that is a good question.
The folder I'm sharing is my own and I'm using the same username. I selected it from the list in Webmin.
I have Browseable=yes, hosts to allow=all, possible users=kai, read/write users=kai, guest access=yes.
I'm not the expert on permissions, but what you have looks good to me. Just to rule that out, you could try setting them temporarily to all users, without specifying a user, try all users. That would rule out local permissions as your issue. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
