Hi,
I have a problem on my Linux AS3 server and I think it is a permission
problem.
It's the following situation :
On a Windows 2000 server there is a drive mapping to a Linux samba share.
The drive mapping is made using the same username/password as mentioned in
the smb.conf file and the smbpasswd file. From Windows explorer I have full
access to that share.
On the server there is also a service running which checks the mapped drive
for specific files. This service creates a temporary file on the share and
the file is removed when the service is stopped.
This works fine on our test server.
I have done exactly the same on our production server and now the temporary
file is not created so the Windows service won't run correct. Again from the
Windows explorer I have full access to the share so I have no idea why the
service can't write the file.
On the Linux machine I created the directory which is shared using Samba as
root and changed permissions using chmod -R 777 <directory>.
In the smb.conf file I gave permissions to the correct user who is also a
local user. The option writable is set to yes.
The SMB service was restarted.
Again, the same setup works perfect on our testserver but I can't see why it
won't work on the prod.server.
My knowledge of Linux is a bit limited so I could really use some help here.
Thanks,
Richard
