I removed the i-bay in the 'normal' way in the web manager interface, so yeah...I guess I did delete all the content, but this is a test box so it's not a big deal.  What's weird is that when I browse in Network Neighborhood to the server, the 'efc' share (that I created with 91efcbay) shows up, but then I get the access issue when I click on it to 'view' the contents.  Even though there are no files there I shouldn't get that message, it should just show no files - so this appears to be a permissions issue.

I will do what you suggest, and recreate the i-bay in the web manager.  Could you be more specific (or refresh my memory) on your "one line change to the custom template"...I thought the custom template was what I did earlier?

Thanks for your help.

You should see the shared name in network neighborhood since Samba has you efc share properly mapped.

The problem is that Samba attempts to connect to the directory /home/e-smith/files/ibays/efc/files which no longer exists.

The easiest solution would be:
1. Use your custom template 91efcbay
2. Manually create the directory /home/e-smith/files/ibays/efc/files and set the correct permissions on the directory.

Do not create the ibay using server-manager as you will then get 2 network shares to the same directory.

Let me know if you still have a problem

Jaco

- Could you help with the 'set the correct permissions'?  Example commands to do this?  I can create the directory, but I'm a newbie - so setting the permissions when I don't have a GUI is foreign to me. (lol, sorry)

 - That's what I thought, thanks.
