After creating a new SVN repository I was unable to commit or create folders. I received the following error message: “Can’t created directory” … “permission denied”
The problem was the svn folder did not have write access for the group. This was solved by applying the write permission for the group.

- Create a “Share” by using the GUI in SYSTEM -> ADMINISTRATION -> SHARED FOLDERS:
- By default encrypted passwords are supported. Before a user can connect to your share you must create an SMB password. Do this from the command line by typing sudo smbpassword USERNAME
- The user can now log in by hitting the ip address of your host.
- With this setup, you probably will not be visible on a “workgroup”
- You can modify your settings via /etc/samba/smb.conf
