what mount options are you using for the usb drive?
what are the permissions of the underlying device?

Subject: External USB ext2 drive and samba/Windows

I have an external USB2 hard drive connected to a RHEL5 server in a
samba/NIS environment.

People are able to read and write to the server's RAID drives fine from
Linux and Windows XP systems.  But, only the Linux machines can
read/write the USB hard drive - the Windows systems, whether the
mounting is via drive letter or UNC, can only read it.

The Windows machines are part of a samba-based domain.

I have verified group ownerships and user/group/other permission bits of
the mounted USB hard drive.  I _should_ be able to write it, but Windows
keeps giving me permission denied.  A reboot of the Windows systems
doesn't help, either. Other domain Windows machines behave the same.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

Scott
