I am having an issue with with give a user access to my samba share on my machine running Debian Jessie.
I have a 1TB usb drive that I am sharing using Samba and NFS. Now the drive and everything underneath is owned by root, but the permissions are 777 so anyone should be able to mount read and write. I created a Samba account for myself and have been able to mount the share on multiple machines. However I created an account for my wife, she cannot. Here is how I made her account
1. created her an account with no shell: useradd username -d /dev/null -s /dev/null
2. then create a samba user for her: smbpasswd -a username
Her machine is running Ubuntu-GNOME so I opened the files application browse the network saw the share, but when I tried to mount through the app I am asked to put in my wife's credentials. I enter them and it says permission denied. Anyone have any ideas what I am missing?
