Can't Connect to Samba share but I can SSH and I can connect to other shares

What should the /data folder have for permissions? I didn’t see that in your guide.

The guide is advancing - and the initial values are changed during configuration - as you tag along.

Initially everything is root owned - see the [root tip] [How To] Samba Server From Scratch section

@linux-aarhus

# ls -l /data
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root   4096 Aug 10 01:29 media
drwxrwx--- 2 root office 4096 Oct 16 10:40 office
drwxrwxr-x 2 root users  4096 Oct 16 09:48 public

At the end - after creating the users - the tree has changes related to the admin user created as part of the exercise.

EDIT

@rob215x

Most of the other threads I found on the internet were solved because people forgot to do: sudo smbpasswd -a username but as I described above

I think there is a difference between local mode and root.

The guide is written using root and it is quite possible that using using sudo to add a user is different from the user changing own password.
