I just installed Ubuntu server 9.04 and am try to get it all set up but Ive run into a snag with Samba. I cant delete, add, or change files from my windows machine like I could before. Here is my minimalist Samba config that I used on my old ubuntu server:




[global]
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
security = SHARE
map to guest = Bad User
obey pam restrictions = Yes
passdb backend = tdbsam
pam password change = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
unix password sync = Yes
syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
dns proxy = No
usershare allow guests = Yes
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
invalid users = root

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
create mask = 0700
printable = Yes
browseable = No

#Shares go here --------------------------------------------

[mnt]
path = /mnt
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
available = Yes
[music]
path = /mnt/music
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
available = Yes
[movies]
path = /mnt/videos
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
available = Yes


Im sure its just one small thing Im forgetting..Its been a while since I played around with my server!

You have to set the linux file permissions to be written by "everyone" if you want Samba Guests to be able to write/delete. You can do this in nautilus by selecting "properties" from the context (right-click) menu. Otherwise, use chmod in terminal.
