Samba & sendmail problems - HELP!!!!

Greetings

I am having a couple of problems with my companies Linux server - Red Hat SE
3, and our clients - 5x Windows XP Pro SP2.

First Problem.

Samba 3.0 - Samba has been setup to share folders and printers, the printer
sharing is working fine but the file sharing is not.

I have created a shared folder called share - /share - I have specified the
users who can access it, which is ok. from Windows, I double click on
Network Places, Samba Server, Share But I cannot create a folder or save a
file to the shared folder, I get the error message - you do not have the
priveledges to do this. When I click on the Samba server from Windows, I
logon sucessfully.

Below is a copy of the smb.conf file I use :-

[global]
workgroup = 181230
local master = yes
hosts allow = 217.34.63.169 189
encrypt passwords = true
security = user
users = @sgcs
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd

[Printers]
comment = HP LJ1200
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
use client driver = yes
browsable = no

[Share]
comment = Share Folder
path = /share
read only = no
public = yes

I find it strange that I can see the folder and I can open a file in the
folder, but I cannot create a new folder and I cannot save any
documents...HELP!!!!

Second Problem

Sendmail

I cannot get this working at all, I have followed the manual and HOWTO
documents, but the mail client = MS Outlook 2000 cannot access the sendmail
server to retreive the emails which has to be configured to be kept on the
Red Hat server.

How do I setup the user identities on the Red Hat server to access the
persons emails - there is nowhere in the sendmail.mc file or am I looking in
the wrong direction...

If anyone can help me I will forever be in your debt..

Many thanks

Stuart

Do directory permissions allow writes?

You don't use Sendmail for picking mails up from a server. You need a
POP or IMAP server (depending on if you want the mails downloaded or
left on the server).
