You are probably right, I am probably trying too hard. So tonoght, been reading about Jakarta Struts. And I also calmed down by the way :-). And yes I probalby tweaked too much because I swear it worked before.
So for I guess the third time, and with a different look each time here is the smb.conf file
[global]
workgroup = localdomain
server string = samba server
hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
local master = no
os level = 20
domain master = no
preferred master = no
password server = None
security = USER
dns proxy = no
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writeable = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
printable = yes
[var]
hosts allow = 192.168.0.176 192.168.0.177 192.168.0.141 127.
writeable = yes
path = /var
[opt]
hosts allow = 192.168.0.176 192.168.0.177 192.168.0.141 127.
writeable = yes
path = /opt
[marst]
hosts allow = 192.168.0.176 192.168.0.177 192.168.0.141 127.
comment = root directory
path = /home
writeable = yes
-------------
Directories
-------------
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 Feb 5 00:52 var
drwxrwx--x 3 root root 4096 Feb 5 00:51 opt
drwx------ 17 marst marst 4096 Mar 11 16:11 marst
Now here I can see the problem with opt. But again, I used to be able to map the directories (you know, right click on My Computer, bla bla bla...) and if providing wrong password when trying to access then I was refused access. But the problem is it just won't find the path.
And what else did you want... oh yeah the smbpasswd file.
