Samba smb.conf Help Needed - ALMOST THERE!!!
I am trying to setup a Samba server on my Debian Sarge...
I deleted the default smb.conf file and am trying to get the settings right so that I can write files from my WinXp Home laptop, to the box running the samba server.
This is my smb.conf file:
[global]
restrict anonymous = no
domain master = no
preferred master = no
netbios name = POTUS
workgroup = CLINTON
max protocol = NT
ldap ssl = No
server signing = Auto
security = share
[Dingo]
case sensitive = no
guest ok = yes
msdfs proxy = no
path = /home/jordo23
writable = yes
Now....I can view the files under jordo23 from my xp box. I can also copy these files to my xp box from the server. I cannot, however, write to the server from the xp box.
I have tried every possible setting, and sometimes I lose the connection to the server when a setting is changed. Right now I have it connected for viewing, but not writing. What do I have to do to be able to write to the samba debian box from the xp home box?
Someone PLEASE HELP!

Make sure the user account you are connecting to samba as has write permissions to the directory/files in question.

3 Rules:
1) "It doesn't work..." is simply not useful information.
2) Don't cross post!
3) If you are asking for help, start by telling us your distro/os and version.
