shares permissions

[kevmorris]

What i am trying to do is make the movies share read only for every user who is accessing except myself. Ive set up another user and removed the tick from the writeable tickbox but that doesnt stop the other user from deleting a test file. Could someone point me in the right direction, please. the second user is accessing it by windows vista btw


TIA

you need to check which user credentials you are using to access the share ie is it the user with the read permisions only? (eg UserB, UserC in example below)

NB: samba permissions will not overule file permissions.

check your smb.conf file also. under your share you should see something like:
valid users = UserA, UserB, UserC (should match what you see in amahi gui shares)
write list = UserA (should match what is ticked writable only)
