Samba 3.0 on Fedora Linux, unable to write to shares

[Joncamp]

Has anyone had success with Samba 3.0 on Linux? I am having trouble getting write permission on Samba shares from Windows XP clients. Someone told me to make sure "writeable=yes" on the smb.conf share configuration. I've done that, I've given full permissions on the Linux chmod share permissions too.

Thanks.

I'm not sure, but isn't this line

Uncomment the guest account=pcguest line
Substitute pcguest with some user on your local machine
After the guest account line add the following line
guest ok = yes
Add the guest ok = yes line to the options for the samba share as well.
Add another option valid users = <username you substituted in place of pcguest> to the options of the samba share

Also, try changing the security option to share instead of user.
