I have 3 computers:
“win” running WinXP
“old” running OpenSuSE 7.2 (ancient)
“new” running OpenSuSE 11.2
I have a shared directory on “win”, which I
can mount fine on /win
From “old”
touch /win/rrr - as root: works
touch /win/uuu - as my normal login works
From “new”
touch /win/rrr - as root: works
touch /win/uuu - as my normal login FAILS
I get permission denied.
I’ve tried a thousand variations, nothing gets
me past this. There are no firewalls involved.
My user account on both “old” and “new” are
as identical as I can make them.
I’ve read more articles about file sharing and
samba than I can stand.
Someone please help.
The only clue I have is that the output from
smbclient on the two Linux boxes has a
difference. On the one that works, it prints
out “Domain=[MSHOME]…”; on the one that
fails it prints out “Domain=[WIN]…” where
WIN is the host name of the XP machine.
