[Samba] (no subject)

[Anthony Carmody]

Hiya,

i have had a HTTP directory tree shared out via SMB on my HTTP
development server for a few years with no trouble. recently however
various files have started becoming read-only as far as my Win2k machine
is
concerned. upon ssh-ing into the tree in question i find all the
permissions are fairly open and i cannot see why i should have any
problem at all.
i have attempted chmod-ing in various different ways and restarting
samba
with mixed results, normally a chmod 775 does the trick.
my network is very simple, just an XP laptop, WIN2K workstation
a Linux DNS/FW and DHCP server and a fileserver with FreeBSD
[the SMB server in question] all i normally use is a workgroup, as i
have a
substantial firewall and security is not a priority inside.
anyone think of anything else that might be causing the
problem?
