Re: Just one share that any and all my users can write / delete from it - samba wont hear of it

["Larry Irwin" <larryi@ccamedical.com>]

It appears to me that the only items that need to be added are:
-----
[global]
  guest account = nobody
  create mask = 0777
  directory mask = 0777
[SDRIVE]
 comment = SDRIVE Public Shared Directory
 read only = No
-----
Make sure that the user "nobody" exists in /etc/passwd and that it has a 
home directory defined that does NOT exist.
These smb.conf entries will allow users to create files with perms of 766 
and directories with perms of 0777.
Most access issues beyond the setup of samba are related to windows' 
handling of the Workgroup/Domain junk...
The Workgroup/Domain name must be the same on every PC that you want to have 
access to the share.
Workgroup setups have less complications than Domain setups where samba is 
concerned...
That should fix it from the Linux/samba perspective.
