The following error occured persistently, when trying to access a world
rw-able directory public from Win2000 (samba version 2.2.6):
(log file:)
[2003/01/01 17:45:57, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(597)
harm (192.168.0.3) Can't change directory to /public (Permission denied)
The following is the share in the smb.conf file:
[public]
comment = public share: read & write, no execute
path = /public
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
Allthough the file permissions for the user Harm and administrator were
set to rw:
Permissions:rwxrwxrw-
owner: root
group: root
Allthough Harm and administrator could open public when logged in
locally, samba could see but not open the directory, when the users were
logged in on the Win2000 machine, allthought they were able to see their
own /home/Harm and /home/adminisitrator home directories.
Once I set the Execute permission to Others, Harm and administrator were
able to open the /public directory.
Permission: rwxrwxrwt
I think they should be able to open it with rw-permissions only.
Is this an error or am I wrong ?
