[Samba] error -13 with smbopen

[Joel Hammer]

Well, I tried to change permissions on the aph5 directory. Got the same
problem with kfm although there was no trouble using the console to open
this directory. I can't fool much with this because every time this
happens, I have to reboot to regain control. The error messages go to
the console, freezing me out of the box while all these messages
scroll across the screen. And, I cannot kill the kfm process, either
from within kde or by telneting in from another computer. Its unkillable.

I suspect I have damaged this computer via numerous upgrades and patches,
etc. I would hate to have to recreate this monster (win4lin, kwintv,
dhcpd, xterminal server and all the rest.) So, I'll just avoid using kfm
to access files on that one particular machine.
