Cannot modify files hosted on raspi on other computers in the network
I'm having a weird issue with my pi. Pi is set up as SMB host, hosting music files for access around the house. I can't modify the files from any of the other computers though, except with sudo.
I have set all permissions recursively on the whole music collection to 0777.
My smb.conf share is set up thus:
[share]
Comment = pi shared folder
Path =/mnt/share
Browseable = yes
Writeable = Yes
only guest = no
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
public = yes
Guest ok = yes
create mask = 0777
If I need to edit a tag, or rename a file, I navigate either in puddletag or nautilus to the file in question, and when I try to edit I get a permission error. If I do either of these things with sudo, however, I can edit freely.
Doing my music maintenance as elevated user is obviously an ok workaround, but a bit annoying. Does anyone know what I've done wrong?
P.S. I'm no pro at this stuff, if I've missed any key info please let me know and I will supply it.
P.P.S The drive I'm sharing is formatted as ext4.

It's been configured like this for quite some time, so it's been through numerous shutdown/restart cycles. Also, noted, thanks. I'll delete the other one.

Your configuration states only that
Guest ok = yes
This only allows guest to access the service without password and operate within powers of the guest account. But what are they? By default it's nobody. Does he have access to your music collection? Remember that if the collection is inside your /home/you directory, then even if you set wide open permissions on the collection folder, nobody or another user might not even get that far getting stopped by some more restrictive permissions down the way.
Possibly then you just need to overrule the default nobody with someone more privileged:
Default: guest account = nobody # default can be changed at compile-time
Example: guest account = ftp
Or you might move the collection to a more accessible place.
Remember to reload or restart your Samba service after the configuration's been saved.

Thanks for the lead, I'll look into that. The collection is mounted at /mnt/share, should I move it elsewhere, or was the /home/you comment a caveat rather than a suggestion?

@Frazbro/mnt/shareis alright. I'd first check its permissions and then find or create a suitable user.guest account = that_user, smb reload and that's it.
