[Samba] No access to root-level of shares on NT4 SP6 with Samba2.2.2 on FBSD-4.7

[Florian Lorenzen]

Hi John,

this is my smb.conf-file:

# /usr/local/etc/smb.conf
#
# $Id: smb.conf,v 1.1 2002/11/28 17:53:45 root Exp $
#

[global]
workgroup = ossa6
netbios name = claire
server string = File-services on claire.
hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
max log size = 0
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /usr/local/etc/smbpasswd
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
interfaces = 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
os level = 64
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
domain logons = yes
local master = yes
logon drive = x:
logon home = \\%L\%u\profile
logon path = \\%L\%u\profile
logon script = logon.bat
wins support = yes
client code page = 850
load printers = yes
printcap = /etc/printcap

[netlogon]
browseable = no
path = /usr/local/etc/netlogon
writeable = no

[homes]
comment = %u's home directory.
browseable = no
writeable = yes
hide dot files = yes
veto files = /.*/network trash folder/
delete veto files = yes
create mask = 660
directory mask = 770

[public]
path = /shares/public
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
create mask = 660
directory mask = 770
write list = @wg
hide dot files = yes
veto files = /.*/network trash folder/
delete veto files = yes

[software]
path = /shares/software
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
create mask = 660
directory mask = 770
write list = @wg
hide dot files = yes
veto files = /.*/network trash folder/
delete veto files = yes

[printers]
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
printing = BSD
browseable = yes


And this is what ls says about the shares:

claire:/shares # ll
total 8
drwxrws---   9 root  wg  512 17 Jan 01:52 public
drwxrws---  10 root  wg  512 16 Jan 22:44 software

claire:/home # ll
total 16
drwxrws---  12 einar     einar    1024 17 Jan 01:50 einar
drwxrws---  20 florian   florian  1024 17 Jan 01:50 florian
drwxrws---   3 maria     maria     512 28 Nov 21:15 maria
drwxrws---   5 mldonkey  wg        512 16 Jan 08:43 mldonkey


But I don't really think, that it's a permission-problem, because it
works for the Win98 machine and I can create directories in the
top-level. I just cannot copy or move files (e. g. via drag&drop) to the
top-level. And some file-browsing dialogs, older ones (there are still
some like in old Win3.x) do not let me open something like G:
(\\claire\public).

But perhaps, you have a clue, thanks in advance,

Florian
