Eva,

change /TEMP/ to mode 755 !

Currently NOBODY is allowed to write if Posix shows dr-xr-xr-x.
The other thing: who is owner of /TEMP/PUB/ ? This can be changed to MGR.TEMP
using chown.

If the problem will continue don't hesitate to come back.

Best regards, Andreas Schmidt, CSC, Germany

I'm having trouble getting SAMBA to work.  I'm using SAMBA/ix 0.7 on MPE
5.5.

I set up an account Temp with the group Pub.  MPE access is
R,L,X:any;W,A:ac.  The Pub group is R,L,A,W,X,S:any.  In POSIX it shows TEMP
dr-xr-xr-x.  Pub shows drwxrwxr-x.  I have two users in the account; one
which is mgr.  I tried changing the TEMP and PUB through POSIX with the
chmod, but I can't seem to get that to work.  I get invalid argument.

In my smb.conf file, I have the following:

guest account = mgr.temp
browseable = yes
path = /TEMP/PUB
guest ok = yes
readonly = no

My user.map file contains:  mgr.temp = mgr

With above, I can get in as a guest and do not have to provide a password or
user name, but I cannot write to the share.
I get the message access denied.

If I remove the guest ok from smb.conf, I can't get to the share.  Upon
trying to enter a user name and password, I can't get to the share.
I get invalid user/password.  I tried various combinations of valid MPE
users for the TEMP account.  I am trying to access the share from an NT 4.0
machine.  I installed the registry hack and tried putting encrypt password =
yes in the smb.conf file.  That didn't help.

Any help will be appreciated.

TIA--Eva
