[TriLUG] samba configuration -- can't get to share

[Mike Kelley]

I appreciate the suggestion.  I looked at the log file and I was able to see
what the problem is but I don't understand why it's happening.  The last 2
lines look something like:

smbd/service.c:make_connection(599)
mike2 (192.168.0.4) Can't change directory to /export/samba/uplddir  no such
file or directory exist

I've checked and I haven't mistyped anything and the directory clearly
exist.  Just make sure it isn't a problem with permissions, I've set the
directory to all permissions and made nobody the owner (it was root) and
users the group (it was root as well)
