"root" ownership of created files.

FYI, I found the problem with my non-super user creating files owned by "root": the non-super user name was in the "admin users" clause in smb.conf.  Should've know better (it's in the man page for smb.conf).  :-(

Hello Samba people,

Since upgrading my PC to NT, I've noticed that the files I create as a non-super user on my Samba-mounted drives are owned by "root".  The group is correct, and the privileges are what I expect, but the ownership shouldn't be "root".  "root" isn't even an allowed Samba user.  Any ideas?

Using NT 4.0, AIX 4.3.1, Samba 2.0.7

Thx,
