ok, I ran getenforce. It was "enforcing". I ran setenforce permissive, but I still have the issue.

Here is my conf entry:

[voltamp]
   comment = Voltamp File Space on 2
   valid users = +voltamp
   path = /voltamp
   force create mode = 0770
   force directory mode = 0770
   create mask = 0007
   read only = no
   writable = yes

 I did the smbpasswd for the user, but I can't find where the user is added. my conf file says it uses the tdbsam, but I don't know much about it.

I checked my file permissions, they are set to 770. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric

The conf file isn't the only thing you need to copy.  You also need the file(s) that hold the samba passwords.  Where this file is and what it is called has changed in more recent versions of samba, so you'll have to do some looking.  Your smb.conf file should tell you something.  The smbusers file might also need to be copied.

Also, as others have mentioned, SELINUX is a hell of a drug.  Luckily it can be configured to let samba do its thing.  I did this myself recently and only two changes were required, but don't ask me to repeat them from memory.  There is a tool in KDE that runs in the system tray that tells you when selinux is fussing, and it also provides tips on how to make it be quiet.  This is how I got it working on my laptop.

Subject: Samba on CentOS

Hi all,
I am trying to get Samba to installed on a CentOS 6.2 machine. I have read-only access working, but when I try to make edits to files, it claims I don't have permissions. I copied my smb.conf file from another machine that had things working, so the conf file should be good.

I read some online about SELinux settings. I tried setting a few, but it had no change. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Eric
