Problem accessing samba share / permission denied

i have installed samba and want to share a directory to everyone in my home network.
Everything works fine, if i share for example a directory inside my ubuntu user home directory:



home/drwade/temp/samba/anonymous


here i can access the share without any problem.
This is the section of my /etc/samba/smb.conf:



file:



[Anonymous]
path = /home/drwade/temp/samba/anonymous
browsable = yes
writable = yes
read only = no
force user = nobody
public = yes


I have now installed a 3 TB harddrive into my pc and formatted it with ext3 and chowned the whole drive to my ubuntu user.
Then i have added it to the /etc/samba/smb.conf:



[Anonymous2]
path = /media/drwade/DATA/samba/anonymous
browsable = yes
writable = yes
read only = no
force user = nobody
public = yes


When i try to access the Anonymous2 share on my Windows 7 machine, i get an permission denied error.



Could this be an mounting problem? have i forgot to configure something else?

          By design /media/$USER ( /media/drwade in this case ) will allow only one user to get past it and that is drwade. You are forcing the user to be "nobody". nobody != drwade so access is denied. Change your force user in the [Anonymous2] share definition to drwade:



          force user = drwade
