If you want all users to write to the _same_ directory and you 're not
concerned with oodles of security, create the directory on the Linux
machine and give it world write privileges:
# mkdir /some/directory
# chmod 777 /some/directory
Then change your /etc/samba/smb.conf file 's [homes] section to read:
[homes]
comment = Universal home directory
path = /some/directory
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
create mode = 0666
directory mode = 0777
Then stop and restart samba:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/samba restart
Note that this allows ANYONE to write to /some/directory. This is, uhm,
dangerous!
