Hi Dieter,

Be very careful with the pam set up. If you make a mistake you might not 
be able to log back on the machine.
The pam config editing is only necessary if you want AD user to access 
unix services, I mean non samba stuff, like ssh, ftp, su, xdm, pretty 
much things that will let them log on the machine.

For samba share access you only need the samba and winbind part.

For user to be able to write to the samba shares you need to make sure 
of two things.
1. it is writeable = yes
2. the directory permissions are allowing those users to write to it 
(what you did already)
3. the create and directory mask match those permissions so newly 
created files or directory will be writeable too.
    ie:
    [global]
        directory mask = 755
    [<yourshare>]
        create mask = 644

      
I hope this works.

Denis.
