samba question

OK, I have a samba question here. Here's the scenario
- Samba server w/ samba 2.0.4a running solaris 7
- A windows machine w/out SNC can mount the home directory as
\\<samba_server>\<login name> but when the user copies files from the local pc
to that mounted home directory, it either copies the files w/ nobody as the uid
or gives that "can't copy file because the disk is write protected ..."
I can sort of see why the nobody set got created from the smb.conf file but now
my questions are:
1. Is there a way to override that write protected error (i.e. Is there a way to
have someone copy files to their UNIX mapped home directory without giving the
access denied error.)
2. Is there a way to copy a pc-local resided file to the mounted home directory
and give the owner and right permissions to <login_name> instead of nobody. I
definitely know that the guest account flag has something to do with it but not
how.
Heres the templates for the global and homes shares
