Check permissions on folder, mount point folder, file, and share conf in samba ?
No point in posting ps, since your samba's obviously working.
here it is
config samba
option workgroup 'WORKGROUP'
option charset 'UTF-8'
option description 'Samba on OpenWRT'
option autoshare '1'
config sambashare
option name 'hdd'
option path '/mnt/sdb1'
option read_only 'yes'
option guest_ok 'yes'
option create_mask '0666'
option dir_mask '0777'
Ok, so that's 1 out of 4...
You have configured the share as "read only", doesn't that mean that users cannot create / change / delete files?
