Re: [LUG] Vfat & Samba

I've set :

Valid Users= +public_drive_users
Write List = +public_drive_users

The "+" making sure it checks the UNIX User database rather than anything 
else...

I've also edited the fstab file for:

/mnt/fatdrive            /dev/sdc1               vfat gid=504,umask=002  0 
0

Where 504 is the proper group ID.

No joy... :o(

bit strange, sounds a bit like the permissions for the samba share are'nt 
set 
properly?.. have you tried some of the following

- try rechecking the access permissions for the samba share that 
represents the 
drive on your linuxbox?  --  i use linuxconf to edit my samba config etc 
but i 
you should be able to check the samaba share access permissions by editing 
the 
smb.conf file...  (eg..mines at: /etc/samba/smb.conf)

- checking the drive mounted properly? (unlikely if u can view it etc 
though)
