<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well this is my first post to the PLUG forums so
please excuse me as I only know the one person who invited me to the August
seminar in Technology Park.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway, I am running Fedora Core 4 as a home
Internet gateway/fileserver.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Previously I ran Mandrake 10.0 with no prolem,
however I wanted to widen my scope.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All other machines are running Windows XP Home, XP
Pro, Win98 and they can PING the linux box, it appears in Network
Neighborhood, even the shares appear, however when I try to enter the shares I
am presented with a dialog box stating that I do not have sufficient
priviledges.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is the strange thing
though........</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have three HDDs installed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Shares which refer to directories on the system
drive can be viewed from Windows.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, the shares on the other two drives
cannot.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This sounds like a file pemissions problem..... so
I set all read/write permissions on the extra drives to allow
"nobody". (basically no secuiry at all), yet Windows still cannot access the
shares.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have the SAMBA 3 HANDBOOK at home, I don't think
SAMBA is the problem.......</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But any help will be great.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One of these shares is the collective BACKUP DRIVE
for all the Windows machines.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>No backups can be made or accessed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>James.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
