Fedora 6 permissions

I have a box with Fedora 6 and Samba on it.

I've created a share with the following config:
[global]

wins sever = 192.168.1.10
workgroup = Richtest
server string = Linux test server
netbios name = Linux
security = share

[datashare]
path= /datashare
writeable= yes
guest ok=yes

I've also set the permissions with "chmod 777 /datashare".

The server appears to my Windows box and I can view the folder, but I can't add any files to it.

Anyone have any idea why this is the case?
 
Change to

security = user

The security = share causes more problems, at least when I use it.

And you won't need to chmod 777 the folder because the guest permissions will assigned to uid nobody and gid nobody.

Have Fun! [afro2]
