Sharing Not Working Correctly

[Sir_Siddy]

Well guys now I have all my drives mounting correctly, I added them to samba to have them share.

I set up a user sid and a password for it too.

When I try to log in from my laptop I get a prompt asking for my username and password. I put put of them in but instead of accepting the box just re appears with the text LAPPY\sid instead of just sid. (lappy is the name of my computer)

The username and password for both samba and my laptop are the same.

What should I be doing?

This is my smb.conf

workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = linuxrig
encrypt passwords = yes

[Homes]
read only = no
browseable = yes

[D Drive]
browseable = yes
read only = no
public = yes

[E Drive]
path = /home/sid/E
browseable = yes
read only = no
public = yes

[Mybook]
path = /home/sid/Mybook
browseable = yes
read only = no
public = yes

[500g]
path = /home/sid/500g
browseable = yes
read only = no
public = yes

did you set your samba password?

smbpasswd -a sid

[Sir_Siddy]

sigh.. so many stupid mistake today

I didnt enable the user lol

I still dont have the ability to write or delete files from my shared files though. What would I have to change to allow this?

I think the problem is you have your set a umask of 222, that make the drive "read only"(and execute). You could change the umask value to 000 on your vfat drive, then you should be able to write to it. After changing the value you will have to unmount and remount it for the new permissions to be added. I don't think linux write support is stable yet. You probably do not want to change the umask to 000 on your ntfs drive.

you can type the command mount to show if your drives are ro(read only) or rw(read/write)

Well..I sorta need those ntfs drives lol

I am going to trust those ntfs-3g drivers haha

Thanks though it worked

[shanenin]

I just did a little reading on ntfs-3g, it seems to do well with writing also.
