Answer 1

This worked for me on Windows 7 when using CentOS 6.5.

Slight changes to instructions..

1. The workgroup will need to change based on yours specifically (set value in /etc/samba/smb.conf).
2. Use \\192.168.x.x\ instead of \\centos on Windows.
3. You'll need to create the folders /samba and /samba/share and set permissions appropriately.
4. If your OS doesn't have nano (per the instructions), then install that before you begin... yum install nano
5. Run restart commands (2 of them) at the end twice, since the shutdown won't apply. Make sure you get OK on both.

I had a similar problem and it turned out to be related to the SELinux security context.

I had to run the command chcon -t samba_share_t /<path>/<to>/<share> -R.

Now i can create and change files in the shared folder.
