Hi all

For the likes of me, I cant get samba to allow write access to a share.

I have a very basic setup.

Just one share that any and all my users can write / delete from it.

Here is a copy of my testparam output:
fileserver:/# testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[SDRIVE]"
Loaded services file OK.

         invalid users = root

If anyone could assist, I would be most grateful.

Kind Regards
