Trying to write to a samba share from win2k

[Guest_imported]

Hello everybody,
I´m having a strange problem when I try to write from my win2k professional (sp2) to a samba share located in one linux machine.
I can browse through the share, and it is possible to copy files from the samba share to the win2k machine.
Bu if I try to "paste" a file in the shared directory, I get the following message: "Cannot copy XXX. Access denied. File of origin may be in use."
Here is my smb.conf contens:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from elena.casa.es (192.168.0.1)
# Date: 2002/01/13 20:17:21

# Global parameters

I have been browsing the log file with no success.
Can anybody give a hint to solve this annoying problem?

Hi,



There are a couple of ways. You can add :



read only=no



to a share definition. However that basically ignores the linux permissions are permits general read/write/create/delete access. To be more specific its better to use 'write list' with a list of users or groups that can write and leave the 'read only=' at its default of yes for everyone else. For example :



write list=user1



or



write list=user1 @group1



(where @group1 means all members of the linux 'group' group1)



You already have a global 'writeable=yes' which is the same as 'read only=no' but I'd suggest you try putting this in the actual share definitions (as per cdrom example).



The other possibility is that its a sp2 problem. There are known issues with samba 2.2.0 and w2k/sp2 and joining domains but perhaps the problem is wider than just that -->

. If you are on 2.2.0 or earlier try the latest version, i.e. 2.2.2 .



Hope this helps
