I have Debian+Lighty+XP.

You sure about that?  On Debian the owner of /var/www is www-data.
Ubuntu is derived directly from Debian.  I'd be surprised if it's that
different.

May not be the perfect way to do it, but this has been working for me
for quite some time:

[www]
   path=/var/www
   browseable=yes
   writeable=yes
   fstype = Samba
   nt acl support = no
   valid users = stan
   admin users = root

This is with a workgroup setup, not domain.  Works fine.
