man samba.conf might be worth a look, too.

355862 2005-05-19 14:55:00 Now this is interesting...

When I have the drives unmounted, I made them chmod 555 (if you did them while they were mounted it spat out read-only filesystem).

When I did ls -l i got
dr-xr-xr-x 2 hamstar root /mnt/hda2

However after I mounted them (with usermount disk mounting utility or command line - mounting from command line as user wouldn't work) I got/get this...
dr-x----- 1 root root /mnt/hda2

What the hell is up with that. When the drives aren't mounted I have access to the folders as a user, and when they are moutned, I have access to them only by root.

???

355863 2005-05-19 23:43:00 /mnt/hda2 isn't "mounted" . It's a mount point . It's a standard directory until a disk (e . g . /dev/hda2, but it could be any disk, even a floppy) is mounted at that point in the file system . Only then are the disk's files made available to the system .

I haven't time at the moment to locate it for you but I very recently posted a full description of the process to someone who has been trouble with CD mounting in Linux . I'm sure you can find it easily .
