samba NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
I have a shared folder /shared/berndwhere /shared and /shared/bernd both are read/write enabled for everyone. I can mound the directory under WindowsXP. XP tells me it is a NTFS file system. Now my problem: I can't create files/folders etc because I have no rights.
What do I have to do to get write permissions?????
testparm smb.conf gives the following output.
Load smb config files from smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"

Processing section "[bernd]"

Also, your settings,
[bernd]
path = /shares/bernd
valid users = adm, bernd
read only = No
This is limited to only users adm and bernd. Is that the user that you're using?

I am using FC4, freshly installed with a complete install, updated through GUI such that no more updates are possible. SAMBA version is 3.0.14a-2.
Please let me know if you need any further information (also maybe provide how I could get that information). The output from testparm is complete. I used the GUI to modify the samba settings. The security level is user. Password encryption is on. Permissions are Read/Write.

Have a look at this link and see if it helps.

basically he ran the "smbclient -e <username>" command and added the "smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd" line in his smb.conf file.

Ok that did the trick: to be more specific the last entry in the above link states that SElinux is the cause of the problem.
Under Desktop->System Settings->Security Level there are entries for SELinux and SAMBA. Once they are changed it is working....

It doesn't show what "security" setting you have. From the manpage for smb.conf (Samba 2.2.5)
"If your PCs use usernames that are the same as their usernames on the UNIX machine then you will want to use security = user. If you mostly use usernames that don't exist on the UNIX box then use security = share.
You should also use security = share if you want to mainly setup shares without a password (guest shares). This is commonly used for a shared printer server. It is more difficult to setup guest shares with security = user, see the map to guest parameter for details."
