Ok, I've had massive issues trying to get this to work, so any help would be much appreciated.
I'm trying to share 2 reiserfs HDDs using samba; the problem is, although I can make them visible and readable, I can't make them writable.
I've added a new test user called 'matt', he's now a member of groups users, as well as audio and video (I added matt to those two groups as a last-ditch attempt to get it working). The permissions for the folder 'incoming' which I want to be writable are rwxrw-rw- (=0766), and in smb.conf I have the following:
workgroup = davesdomain
server string = anime collection - only the best
security = user
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
load printers = yes
log file = /root/.samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
dns proxy = no
[storage]
read only = yes
writable = no
public = yes
browseable = yes
path = /mnt/storage/shared
valid users = matt
[warehouse]
read only = yes
writable = no
public = yes
browseable = yes
path = /mnt/warehouse/shared
valid users = matt
[incoming]
read only = no
public = yes
path = /mnt/warehouse/incoming
writable = yes
browseable = yes
valid users = mattmatt's /etc/group and /etc/passwd entries (respectively):
disk:!:6:root,matt
audio:!:92:dave,matt
optical:!:93:dave,matt
users:!:100:matt
video:x:91:dave,matt
shares:x:101:root,matt
samba:x:1000:matt // this is just a group I wass trying out, I made it myself
matt:x:1001:100::/home/matt:/bin/bash
Permissions for incoming:
drwxrw-rw- 2 root root 48 2005-11-04 17:41 incomingMy /etc/fstab entry:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/warehouse reiserfs users,auto,noexec,rw 0 1
Note - I can't use umask, uid or gid settings in fstab, since reiserfs doesn't allow it...
Any thoughts would be more than welcome; this one is doing my head in. :cry:

Well, it is really not reiserfs's problem here, but samba not knowing that matt can write there.
You can either set
security = sharein [global] and set a write passwd for [incoming] or leave your smb.conf as it is now and issue the following command as root:
# smbpasswd -a matt(or just smbpasswd -a as matt)
and supply the password that matt needs to supply when mounting [incoming] to be able to write to it.

sorry, i forgot to say I'd done smbpasswd -a matt and entered a password for him; it made no difference though, and I've done it again just now to check (I entered password 'monkey' and tried to log on with it, but couldn't write to incoming).

[wild guess]It's probably because matt doesn't have execute permissions there. [/wild guess]
Can you try giving matt +x in incoming?
(like chgrp shares incoming ; chmod 776 incoming )

I was being retarded; I had set the permissions for incoming as either rw or rx, but never rwx... D'OH.
What I don't get is, why do you also need to have execute permissions in a folder, just to create a file? Isn't that a bit lame, if every time you have write permissions you also need execute permissions to make it work?
I've never been 100% certain on permissions...
