good to hear that it’s working!!

I will talk to you on gtalk nigel, so I can help you out.

Linu

Thanks for that! It is working.

My next problem is that I cannot get ‘map to guest’ to work through windows 7. It just keeps popping up with the ‘enter network password’ box.

Any ideas?

[global]
netbios name = BOBBY
guest account = nobody
server string = Nigel’s File Server
workgroup = WORKGROUP
os level = 20
map to guest = bad user
encrypt passwords = yes
security = user

Cheers.

Thank you for your response.
Anyway I will provide you the solution

========

Only the owner can rename, delete or edit an item.
——————————-
[ShareName]
path = /path_to/shared_directory
read only = no
——————————–
Permissions: drwxrwx–T (chmod 1770)
Owner : a normal Linux user
Access : Samba user database only
Comment : set sticky bit & permissions thus:
sudo chmod 1770 /path_to/shared_directory

The Restricted Delete Bit, or “sticky” bit (represented by T in drwxrwx–T) prevents users other than the owner from deleting files or directories inside the shared_directory. In this share, the owner has full create/delete/rename/edit rights to files and directories created by the owner, but other network users have read-only rights to files and directories that they don’t own.

Let me know it works for you

I am fairly new to linux and very new to samba. I am running ubuntu server.

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks in advance,
