Re: Odd sharing problem

I have a lan with one Windows XP laptop and one PCLinuxos TR3 desktop.
On the desktop I have two directories in my Home Directory that are shared,
called Documents and Computing. the share properties are, as far as I can
see ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL on each directory. When I access the Documents
directory from the Win XP laptop, I can create and delete sub-directories.
When I access the Computing directory and try to create a sub-directory
there, I get "access denied" and yet as I said, as far as I can see the
share properties are EXACTLY the same for both. Can anyone suggest why I
should have write access to one and not the other?

What about the file permissions. Does the Linux user that the Windows user is mapped to have the same linux file permissions in both directories?
