I have a samba share on my /var/ so that I can edit the web from a windows box. I have premissions set to Read / Write in the samba gui (RedHat 9). When I go to connect to the linux box, I enter my user and pass and it shows me the folders and I can see that the files are there, but I can't change them or add new ones.

Thanks

I'm assuming that was Swat (I hate Swat, damn thing always makes changes you didn't ask for). Check your users and permissions from a command shell. It missed something.

"I have premissions set to Read / Write"

you can't set this in swat.... you can set
read only = no

but the underlying permissions at the linux level still apply. open a terminal session and look at the output of:

ls -ald /var/www
