Created attachment 13869 [details] Samba logs - no write access to share If the name of the share and the name of the shared Folder are identically, users won't have any write access: [data1] path = /share/data1 writable = yes Using this share, I don't have write access. However, if I use this settings (notice the share name and the folder name differs), I have write access: [data1_share_name] path = /share/data1 writable = yes Both times I tried to create the file "new-file-1.txt" with user "koni", I added the logs (log level = 5) for both.

So many shares have the same name as the directory that is shared. I'm pretty sure that you did set share ACLs for the problematic share in the past. Renaning the share effectively removes the share ACL, this is why the rename makes it work for you.
