[Resolved] Samba Shares and Symbolic Links

[codeDV]

I have a samba share configured to the following:

[$admin]
comment = Admin Share
public = no
browseable = no
printable = no
wide links = yes
valid users = netadmin
create mask = 0700
path = /usr/shares/admin

The directory pointed to by path contains a symbolic link to another directory outside the /usr/shares/admin tree. Actually it points to /usr/serverroot. This particular directory is fully owned by the netadmin user and have no troubles when logged on via ssh editing, creating, reading and deleting files.

However when the link is resolved by Samba I have no problem viewing files but cannot change, add or delete them. I get an error from samba when I attempt to:
"Network Access Denied"

Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue. I 've tried everything.

Make sure that in your smb.conf file you have it as:

writeable = Yes
writelist = netadmin

Also make sure you mount the share (if you are mounting under Linux) with the rw option in smbmount.

Hope that helped!

Dunno what that makes me look like. That was staring me in the face the whole time.

Thanks for the help there,
