Samba You Need Permission To Perform This Action
smb.conf file, ummmm how the heck do u edit it? I have tried nano /etc/samba/smb.conf , and I can change the files as needed, but when I go to save or write it out, it gives me: [ Error writing /etc/samba/smb.conf: Permission denied ] So where do i go from here? I have freshly installed 8.10 (this is a trial run on an old pc to get used to it, but will upgrade to 9.10 or most current version/new hardware as soon as I am confident I can configure it comfortably) The samba server and openSSH were the only things checked on the install, and I am the only user set up on it. Thanks for your help in advance! Adv Reply December 3rd, 2009 #2 wojox View Profile View Forum Posts I Ubuntu, Therefore, I Am Join Date Apr 2009 Beans 8,630 Re: How do I edit conf files?? Try; Code: sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf Then you will have root privileges to save it.

In samba I configured a share like this: [upload] comment = upload folder path = /upload valid users = kevin root public = yes writable = yes browsable = yes create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 guest ok = yes I chown'd the /upload folder to my account 'kevin' and checked that I could create files and folders via the shell. I can browse to the machine from Windows 7, error writing /etc/samba/smb.conf authenticate as 'kevin' and see my home directory share and the upload share but I can't access them. Windows reports: Network Error Windows cannot access \\cos-01\upload Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose. Error code: 0x80070035 The network path was not found. This is a check list of what I've done: the account kevin was added to samba using smbpasswd -a kevin and setting my password at the same time. The samba and centos passwords are both the same. the server name cos-01 is in the /etc/hosts file i.e. 172.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain 172.17.3.90 cos-01 I've also set the netbios name in /etc/samba/smb.conf I configured Windows 7's LAN Manager authentication level to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated" Update: I tried accessing the share by both IP address and server name i.e. \cos-01\upload or \172.16.3.90\upload. In both cases I get the same error as detailed above. I checked the /var/log/samba/smbd.log logfile and see lots of: [2010/07/02 16:56:10, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1013) '/upload' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [upload] Error was Permission denied linux centos samba server-message-block share|improve this question edited Jul 2 '10 at 16:00 asked Jul 2 '10 at 6:56 Kev 5,314125894 add a comment| 6 Answers 6 active oldest votes up vote 4 down vote Is SELinux active?
