[Ilugc] Request for Help with Samba

The problem i am facing is that I am not able to see any files present in
the subdirectories when i open the share using windows xp client
With Ubuntu the usual problem is file sharing permissions. It is not the
same as Redhat as far as i remember.
Try changing the permissions of the directory in which you are holding the
data . , try giving umask options for all, then try restarting the service.
this should work. if it works then you know that the devil is in the details
of your permissions.
The default mask for the directory is 0755.
Remember always GNU/Linux file system permissions are of a higher priority
than that of the samba file permissions.
Also do make sure that your work group name is the same Windows Network
Neighborhood Work group .please edit the line for work group accordingly in
the smb.conf file.please make sure that you do not have any access
restrictions in the same file preventing the access using ip addresses.
Hope this helps.
But a caveat, i worked with ubuntu a longtime back during 5.10 since then i
have gone back to Redhat /Debian as my favorite distros. so i might not
actually be up to date.

Raj
