[Herefordshire] Samba Permissions

[Malcolm Herbert]

As well as the Samba config (which should need password encryption to
on, its off for Win95), you may want to check the Unix file permissions
on the directories of the Samba shares. If its a public share, cd into
the directory set it to 'chmod a+rwx .'
