Hi,
I have smb set up on fc5 and it seems to be working just fine for
the most part. I can access files in my windows machine through samba,
and I can read files on my linux machine through my winbox.... but i
can't write to files, I keep getting access denied errors eventhough I
have a write list

this is what testparm shows for my smb.conf


[data]
path = /export/
valid users = armando
admin users = armando
write list = root, armando
read only = No
create mask = 0765
inherit permissions = Yes
inherit owner = Yes

I've also tried setting

force user = armando
force group = user

(user armando has full read/write access to the directory) but that
still doesnt fix the problem. I've set rules on iptables to allow
traffic coming in from my windows host, and besides all the crazy
settings i've tried on smb.conf, I don't know what else to try.

Thanks for the help.

PS I restart the server after any change so that can't be it either
