Thanks!!  I added the Samba user as one of the first steps.  My smb.config shows "passdb backend = tdbsam".  I cannot find the tdbsam file.  What am I missing?

If I remember right, samba doesn't follow regular *nix permissions.
Try running the command:
smbadduser

to get your user name and password in.  Use those credentials when you
login to transfer files and see if it works.

Hi,

I am running Mint 17 KDE. I've uploaded Virtualbox and created a
vm using CentOS 6.6. On the CentOS 6.6 VM I installed Samba.

I created a user on the VM and created the same user as a Samba
user.
I created a directory off root : /work
smb and nmb are both running.
in the /etc/samba/smb.conf I:
1) set the workgroup - I do not think this is necessary since I am
connection from Linux.
2) commented out all the cups references
3) added the following lines:

- path = /work
- writable = yes
- browseable = yes
- read only = no

SELinux is disables
IPTables is disabled

I have the exact same config on a laptop running CentOS 6.6 and it
works fine. Only difference is the laptop mounts and connects to
Samba from the fstab.

To connect to the Samba share on the VM I issue the following
command from my desktop's command line:

sudo mount -t cifs -o user='username' //192.168.20.51/work/ [1]

/mnt/centos6 (command line on my desktop)

It mounts and I can view the /work directory in Dolphin on the the
parent (mint 17 KDE desktop).

I cannot upload files though.

To test I : chmod -R 777 /work which did not help.

I checked the Samba logs and they contain almost nothing - no
errors are being logged.

I've scoured the internet and am finding no solution.

Tied:

create mask = 0755
create mode = 0660
directory mode = 0770
force create mode = 0660
force directory mode = 0770
force user = keith
force group = keith

which did not make a difference.

Any ideas are much appreciated.

Thanks!!
Keith
