Win client can't open shares on Linux

Win client can't open shares on Linux

Win client can't open shares on Linux

(OP)
I can browse the shares on Win XP but when I try to open them I get access violation errors. For the /home share (2 users) I get "Access denied". For the share /home/ed/Public I get "Network path not found". Everything works fine when browsing & mounting Win shares on the Linux box.

The Linux box is a laptop running Fedora 13 x64. It is connected via wireless.

smb.conf is included here.

Any help is appreciated.

RE: Win client can't open shares on Linux

Make sure you have the proper file system permissions set on the Linux server.

 

RE: Win client can't open shares on Linux

Anyone care to suggest how to chmod for each directory?
/home ???
/home/ed ??
/home/ed/Public ???

Could use a recommendation as a guideline. Thanks anyone, in advance

RE: Win client can't open shares on Linux

You can use option -R to chmod recursively down through the sub-directories.  Google man chmod.  But make sure you start down at the highest directory you actually want to change.  It won't ask you twice.

The idea was to login to the server with the credentials of the appropriate user.

BTW - If you change the permissions of ALL the directories under home, there's at least a 50/50 chance that no one will be able to access their home.
