[Samba] NFS-like file ownership/permissions with Samba

Hello,

We use Linux Work Stations that are logged into by several users
"concurrently". We now use NFS to mount our user accounts from a Linux File
Server with a mount point of /home.

E.g.
/home/martin
/home/anotheruser1
/home/anotheruser2

File permissions on /home/*
drwx-rwx-r-x martin
drwx---------- anotheruser1
drwx-------r-x anotheruser2

Now the Linux File Server will become Windows 2000, but we want the  same
function so that all users that log on a Linux Work Station, see the same
user accounts with the same file permissions, but it seems that smbmount
mounts all files as the same user.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,
Martin Dahlberg
