basic samba stuff...

[gorby]

Hi there i have a few issues with samba, hopefull a nice dude from here will help.
I have debain installed and used the version of samba that came with apt get 2 days ago.
I dont want the box to perfom any server functions yet just some basic file and printer stuff.
from the windows pc i can connect to the share but when i try to copy the file explorer hangs...
(ive tried adding random socket options but none seem to help)
heres my samba.conf

[global]
workgroup = uk
domain master = no
server string = st106349b
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
hosts allow = 10.80.2.
keepalive = yes
readonly = no
security = share

[all_usr_share]
path = /home/allusr_shr
guest = yes
public = yes
writeable = yes
printable = no

Heres the log for the connecting client
[2004/10/21 15:36:35, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(64

Even though samba has the dir set to writeable, etc... your local linux file permissions still have perceadence. Thus, you might want to create a local linux group, make all samba users, or those you wish to have access, members of that group, and give that group read/write/and Execute permissions to that folder like what is being done in the following examples (run as root, example group is allusr):

chgrp -R allusr /home/allusr_shr

and

chown -R g+rwx /home/allusr_shr
