[Samba] connecting from client to subdirectories

[Stephanus Smith]

Hi

I have problem connecting with windows XP clients to a sub directory

The subdirectory is setup as follows in die smb.conf

[wwwshare]
   comment = www share
   path = /var/www/html
   valid users = wwwuser
   public = no
   writable = yes
   printable = no
   create mask = 0765

I have user level security.

The wwwuser is the owner of the html dir.
The wwwuser is also the owner of the www dir.

I have setup a unix user wwwuser and have set the line in die smbuser

wwwuser = wwwuser

When I connect to the samba server I can log-in with the wwwuser and
password that I have setup.
But I can only connect to the samba server's root. when I try to access the
wwwshare I get an access denied reponse.

When I make a directory in the root of the filesystem that is owned by
wwwshare then I can connect to that share with no problem using the
wwwuser and password.

The error that I get in the log file is listed below.

I would realy appreciate any help here

Thanks
