I have also tryed with selinux disabled but it still was broken. will attach smb.conf after submitting this Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): samba-3.0.14a-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. share a folder read/write 2. mount it 3. try to write to it Actual Results: can't write (permission denieded) Expected Results: should be able to write to (as I allowed it) Additional info: no errors in /var/log/audit/audit.log (have also tryed with setenforce 0)
Created attachment 120729 [details] my smb.conf
any idea what could be causing this? is there any way how I could provide more info? please help this bug makes samba unuseable for me.
after playing with the config file and google I have found out that it was a config issue not a bug. the guest user had no permissions to write to this dir.

Whoa hey, please don't close it without explaining exactly how to fix it! And I'm not convinced it's not a bug yet. I tried creating shared folders all over the file system, and mapping samba users to every user on the system, and I mucked with all the smb.conf settings I read about on the internet, and I could never get write-permissions to work. {which by the way, is probably another bug, that whenever I would open the samba server GUI control panel, it would clobber any manual changes I'd made to the .conf file). I have samba users mapped to my own account, which definitely does have write permissions (and regardless, I'd setup the folders and the whole directory tree up to the folder to have 777 permissions, so anyone should have had write access). And still it always fails to have write permissions. I tried everything I found on google and never got it to work. So please either post a step-by-step explaination of how to get it to work, or please re- open this bug. Also, this is all in share-mode samba. See my bug#172451 about how user-mode doesn't work: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=172451 Thanks.
for me it works when the samba guest user has write permissions to the share. ex: /home/xx which is owned by xx. If I set the guest to xx or root it works.
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
seems work fine with samba-3.0.23c-2 on fc6
closing this, reopen if there is a real reproducible bug.

Sorry these are not bugs but configuration problems, probably due to an incorrect use of the guest user.
