Hi All,

I have the following setup.

Samba Server: Scientific Linux 6.2 with the following samba config. I am able to ping the samba server from both a Mac and Windows XP machines. I can even connect to the samba share.
However when I try to access files in the directory I get the error Access Denied. What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated greatly.

From Mac I can Connect as Samba User, See the Samba Shares. Same with Windows XP I can use c:et use x: \\MGLINX\Murthy or any other user I configured on the server. However when I cd to X:\ and do dir I get the error Access Denined.

Regards
Murthy

Are the XP machines domain members?

What are the permissions set on the , for example, Murthy directory?
Either your permissions are set wrong OR samba is not correctly mapping
your "samba" user to the underlying unix account. Just because the
share permissions are correct doesn't mean the file permissions are
correct.

Can you create a directory with 777 permisions in unix. Then see if
your samba user can access that directory and create files.
