Can't modify samba config file as root user - read only
« on: May 01, 2009, 08:29:18 AM »
tc2rc1 testing
It appears the samba config file "/etc/samba/smb.conf.default" that is linked to /tmp...smb.conf.default is read only for all users including root. I tried chmod as root user on it and received read only error message.

You need to copy smb.conf.default -> smb.conf (or create another smb.conf) - sorry, I probably should have mentioned this in the info file...

OK, that worked. Another useful reminder could be to remember to set the smb user name and password with the smbpasswd command.
