Ummm, NO, THAT IS NOT THE SOLUTION. That only leads to more work for the
guy, however, that may hint at the problem.

As I understand it, you were using RH Linux 5.2 (there are more versions of
Linux out there than just RH :-), which shipped with 1.9.18p10 or something
like that.

The default security mode was share under 1.9.18p10, while with Samba 2.0.5
it is user.

You should:

1, upgrade to Samba 2.0.5a from the RH web site
2, probably add security=share in your smb.conf file

which will get you back to your former situation.

However, without more info, we are simply guessing.
