Permissions on samba share
I made a terrible mistake. I executed "chmod a-rwx -R ." (as local root user) in a directory, where my samba share (on Linux server (SuSE 9.2), on which I do not have admin rights) was mounted. I can't see the share anymore (permission denied) and I also can't log in directly on the server using my server account. How to resolve this problem?
Many thanks in advance.

Try "chmod a+rwx -R ." then.

It doesn't work. I mounted the share in /mnt/test and if I try doing "ls /mnt/test" or "chmod a+rwx -R /mnt/test" I get "chmod: cannot access `/mnt/test': Permission denied". No way to access the share anymore.
The problem is that the server system administrator (which, I suppose, could easily fix the problem) is on vacation.

I have already fixed the issue (I logged on the server via ssh and set the permissions).
Thanks anyway.
