[Samba] samba newbie having trouble configuring samba on RH7.3...

[D. Rick Anderson]

Chances are you don't have the file permissions correct on the Linux side.
Make sure that either the user has read rights, or that the user belongs
to the group owning the file and that the group has read rights. Samba
honors Linux file permissions.
