SAMBA digest 2240

[Kenny Cho]

OK, thanks for the info, but that exactly what I DON'T want to do.  Basically 
this is what I want to do.
 
- Map a user's home directory using \\samba_server\unix_login (that's 
successful)
- Basically let the user copy a file over to his home directory w/out setting 
that file to owner:nobody (i.e copy a file over to his samba mounted home 
directory using userlogin as the owner of the file).

I've been successful using v,1.9.18a but not 2.0.4b, I believe it's because I 
ended up downloading the binaries that doesn't have the shadow password support. 
 So my other question is how do I know if the smb binaries that I download has 
that support?
