[Wylug-help] FC, Samba, and permissions problems

[Imran << Javeed]

I've just set up a new FC9 system with Samba and I'm having a problem

I've set security to share, and then set up the following share

[reef]
        comment = Reef shared folder
        path = /user/remote/reef
        writeable = yes
        browseable = yes
        guest ok = yes
        guest only = yes
        valid users = gary
        force user = gary
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Is the equiv gary user been created via smbpasswd
Regards

        valid users = gary
        force user = gary

I've also got the matching directory structure

ls -ld / /user /user/remote/ /user/remote/reef/
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 2009-02-24 18:17 /
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 2009-02-24 17:26 /user
drwxr-xr-x  3 gary gary 4096 2009-02-24 17:26 /user/remote/
drwxr-xr-x  2 gary gary 4096 2009-02-24 17:26 /user/remote/reef/


However, when I try to access it from a WinXP machine I get the following 
error both on the Windows PC and the Samba logs.

[2009/02/25 10:29:40,  0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1156)
  '/user/remote/reef' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to 
[reef] Error was Permission denied

Anyone know what I've missed?
