now, I was thinking that /shared which is used by [fxshare] is independant of /home/fred which is the share dealt with in [homes] (I think), but really I am not certain of that.
the [homes] share appears to have no directory assigned to it, i'm not sure the share will work like that. if you have more users logging on, you may want to set this share to be browseable as well (as you have not set the samba server to work as a domain controller as well).
check the permissions for this share as well with the ls command:

okay rights to /home/fred were 755 rwxr-xto r-x, I changed them to 777 (overkill) so ls -ald /home/fred gives
drwxrwxrwx 2 fred fred 4096 2009-08-30 10:55 fred
anyways, I added path = /home/fred to the [homes] and no difference. I would not have though it was necessary anyway, as I thought [homes] was a generic thing which allowed properly defined windows users to map to their Unix home directories. After all, as fred in Windows I could map to that home directory without the path being specified, I just couldn't write to it.
ok I am assuming that /usr/sbin/smbd /restart is sufficient to implement any changes to smb.conf
edit: ok the whole point was to have an easy mechanism for transfering files. seeing as how I am already using ssh and putty, I eventually discovered sftp which does nicely what I couldn't get Samba to do. So the heat is off, eventually I'll revisit the Samba issue. Thanks anyways.

Hey all,

hi,
i have an rpm, and i am looking at the presinstall script. i can see it takes in an argument, but what i do not know is how this argument is passed to the script? is there something that calls the preinstall script? i thought the preinstall script was the first thing executed.
