Samba share "access denied" error during file creation/deletion/modification despite "read only = no" in smb.conf

Asked by davepusey in Debian Linux, Linux, Samba File Server

Tags: Samba, Samba, 3.0.24, Installed using apt-get install samba smbclient smbfs, Dell, Poweredge, SC440, Debian Etch 2.6.18-6-686, Under Windows XP: Unable to create the file. Access is denied.

I have a samba share configured in smb.conf as such...

security = user

[Downloads]
  path = /home/dwnloads/files
  browseable = yes
  read only = no
  guest ok = no

And I can browse/read files from Windows XP no problem, but when I try to create/delete/modify files on the share from Windows XP I get error message such as...

Unable to create the file. Access is denied.

I'm don't think it is permissions related as the samba daemons are running as root (default install from apt-get)...
