[Samba] Problem with Windows XP not seeing home directories

[John Williams]

Hi,
We have Samba 2.2.2 running on Solaris 8 and Windows XP 5.1.2600 build 2600.
An encrypted smbpasswd file has been setup and user names/uids copied across from 
NIS into the encrypted password file.  User filestore is mounted by NFS from a central 
NFS server and made available from this samba server (cs-enterprise).  NIS is 
normally used to authenticate users to the server and users can login and access their 
filestore without problems.
Users can login to the domain successfully and can mount samba shares.  They can 
view the correct home directory but do not have write permissions.  Can anyone 
suggest a solution.  
Sorry if this is a FAQ.
Many thanks in advance, smb.conf file below.

I can mount \\cs-enterprise\waughjbs but if I try to create a dir it
still gives me access denied
