Why read-only access all of a sudden?

Hi,


    Resize your email window for this one...

    My Samba users have NT 4.0SP3.  The Samba server is a Sun with Solaris
2.6
and occasionally I get read-only problems with shared folders.  The only
other
evidence of the problem is the "nobody nobody" userid status of those users
(see below output from smbstatus).  Any ideas how/why this could happen?
How
do I fix?  Having users log off and log back on and re-establish there
shares
usually fixes the problem but that is a nuisance.

Thanks,

         Ed
