Hello,
I've been trying to solve this issue with accessing a samba share from a windows 7 box.
Samba is on a openSuse 13.1 computer and /mnt/media is shared.
From windows 7 I enter the IP of the suse server and enter my samba user name and password. It then shows me the share media. But when I double click it it says I don't have permission to access \192.268.xxx.xxx\media.
Here is my smb.conf file
[global]
passdb backend = tdbsam
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$
domain logons = No
domain master = No
security = user
usershare allow guests =No
map to guest = bad use
[Media]
comment = mnt media
path = /mnt/media
valid users = bstent
force group = users
writable = yes
Here are the permissions on the /mnt/media
drwxrwxrwx 13 bstent media 4096 Mar 9 16:49 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Mar 9 14:27 ..
drwxrwxrwx 4 bstent media 4096 Feb 10 17:13 .Trash-1000
drwxrwxrwx 6 bstent media 4096 Mar 9 19:50 Files and Software
drwxrwxrwx 19 bstent media 4096 Mar 12 17:04 Movies
drwxrwxrwx 297 bstent media 20480 Mar 3 08:29 Music
drwxrwxrwx 67 bstent media 12288 Jan 23 14:35 Pictures
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but I'm sure it's a simple over sight or misunderstanding of permissions.
Please help me if you can. it is much appreciated.
Regards
Brian
