samba or permissions

Hi,

I am running Debian Linux and have been fooling around with samba.

I currently have two shares----home directory and root directory

I can go into both of them in my windows box without any problem.

I can save files in my home directory from either share.

Now this is where the problems begin. When I go to save files anywhere else in the root directory I get errors stating that I can't save the file.

These are my two shares:
[homes]
comment = Home Directory
browseable = no
writeable = yes
read only = no

[root]
comment = Root Directory
valid users = root oach
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
path = /
read only = no

I believe these are correct!????

So my question. Is this a samba or a user permissions problem? With either one, how do I go about fixing it?

Thank you,
oach

everything looks right above..
since you are dealing with the root directory here it must likely is a permission problem...
make sure to read man chmod

here is a tutorial:

there are tons out there just do a search on www.google.com

by the way, why share the root dir?
