[Fixed] - Samba woes

[kalberga]

I am unable to write to samba shares on my linux server. Evreything mounts ok and I have read access, but no write access.

When I look at the files on the server from my remote machine the owner name is 1001. Locally the same files show the username of the actual owner.

Can someone tell me what is wrong??

Output from my smb.conf is:

[global]
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
map to guest = Bad User
obey pam restrictions = Yes
pam password change = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
unix password sync = Yes
syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
dns proxy = No
usershare allow guests = Yes
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
read only = No
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700
browseable = No
browsable = No

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
create mask = 0700
printable = Yes
browseable = No
browsable = No

[print$]
comment = Samba server's CD-ROM
path = /media/cdrom0
guest ok = Yes
locking = No
preexec = /bin/mount /media/cdrom0
postexec = /bin/umount /media/cdrom0

[server1]
path = /srv/1
valid users = kris
write list = kris
read only = No
create mask = 0775
directory mask = 0775
guest ok = Yes

[server2]
path = /srv/2
valid users = kris
write list = kris
force user = kris
read only = No
create mask = 0775
directory mask = 0775
guest ok = Yes

[server3]
path = /srv/3
valid users = kris
write list = kris
read only = No
create mask = 0775
directory mask = 0775
guest ok = Yes

Thanks to anyone who can tell me what I am overlooking!!

Re: Samba woes

Are those last three entries the "shares" you are trying to get to? Do you have appropriate permissions to that directory? That isn't a directory where you would normally do work or shares - AFAIK.

Also, what version of Kubuntu are you running?

Re: [Fixed] - Samba woes

as it worked out, I needed to add uid=xxx and gid=xxx to /etc/fstab. The client was mounting the shares as root. I added my uid to the fstab and it resolved the issue.

Great! Glad you were able to figure out the problem.
