Hello
Some other problems with samba on debian sarge
1)
The file sharing works but only with the samba user I created. I did not succeed to do it for my linux user. I thought this would be easy when the linux and win user are the same and have the same passwd
2)
The first folder I shared was the subfolder of the home directory of my linux user (home/user/rep_partage) - I did a chmod 777 on this folder and now I can do what I want when I come from win to the samba folder, even deleting files.
But the second folder I want to share does not work.
Its a disk mounted recently in the fstab like this :
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/plusdisk1 vfat defaults,rw 0 0
and the chmod 777 does not work on it
How can I change this ?
2) You cannot share the vfat disk because vfat does not support that a file is owned by a user. Therefore a chmod 777 will not help you there. Your System is allways mounting it in 744 and with root as owner
You have to change your fstab line
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/plusdisk1 vfat defaults,rw,umask=000,uid=user,gui=group 0 0
user= your user you work with
group= on group your user is in (i.e. users)
1)
You can convert a linux user to a samba user by typing
smbpasswd username
This take a normal user to the samba users, and set its password
Once again you helped me :
The 2 points are ok now !
your responses are TOP !
(ahem, so if you could get a look on the second samba post :

Thanx
thanks . . .

Hope someone else can help . . . .
