Hi,

I have:
- Linux 2.0.30
- NT 4.0
- Samba 9.16pl11
- same user name and password on Linux and NT 4.0 (user1, pwxxx)

and the smb.conf of below.

When I create a file on the samba share [tmp] from the NT 4.0 machine, the
owner is always 'nobody' (my guest account). I can not manage it to
give it my own name (user1).
I can not create a file in another directory neither, because samba always
tries to create as nobody.

With Win-95, everything works !

What is the difference in settings between Win-95 and NT 4.0 ?

Any idea's

TIA
Alex
