12.04 Server Problem

[farrinux]

Hello Peps.

Could use some help here please. I was using webmin to setup some samba shares per this guide http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Config...re-folders.htm. Later when I ssh'ed into my server I was greeted with this

user@box:~$ ssh SandS@media

True to it's word I have no permissins to do anything. I also checked to see if I lost my permissions in VNC and I have. Any thoughts on how to correct this. I do know I will probably have to do this through webmin.

you can change your permissions one of two ways either through the terminal with

"sudo chmod 777" that would basically give you root access to the file though its kind of reckless i can't think of the other chmod commands off the top of my head or you can go into a terminal and type "kdesu dolphin" and you can change permission through dolphin and a GUI just right click and go to properties then permissions.
