    Hi,

    I have my shares created and shares and there are supposed to be public samba so any of the machines on my home network can write to them and modify. But the only way I can manage to get the writeable is to set the permissions to to rwx for Others but this means if i have a users or friend ssh in they will be able to delete and modify content in those folders?? Any Ideas how to fix? Is it just YAST no declaing the shares properly. I have given them write ok and public?

    Cheers

    Can't beat manually editing config files for this sort of thing!

    Have you messed around with the Samba Server module under YaST (the Shares tab)?

    I have found the combination of Webmin and SWAT useful for modifying the samba setup on servers. Try them.

    I've been poking around with permissions recently, dealing with a similar problem. I tried changing permissions on the mounted files but this is non possible over Samba (or so KDE warned me).

    What if you create a user for each person who will use a share and put them in a group? Make it rwx for user and group?
