I've been trying to get Samba set up on my HDD-install for a while now, and to be honest, it's pissing me off -- mainly because it doesn't work as advertised in the FAQ or other posts in the forum.

Here's the setup:

Knoppix box & WinXP box on the same network (192.168.2.10, 75)
/etc/samba/smb.conf:
security = share
....
[myshare]
Comment = My Share
path = /home/knoppix (I know, accessible thru Homes, bear with me)
writeable = yes

smbpasswd:
contains entries for both "knoppix" and "draco" (name of the XP box)

When I try to access this from my WinXP box, I can see everything, but get permission denied errors every time I try to write anything.

Strangely enough, when I change the above path to /tmp, it works like a charm.

This seems like an issue with filesystem permissions on the /home/knoppix directory...but I have to admit I don't want to make my home directory world writeable and then share it via Samba. How can I fix this?

Thanks,
Alex Kirk
