Hi Andy,
I can't give you a total solution solving your (our, you are definitly
not alone with this) problem. This problem is a mapping conflict. If you
try to change the permissions on windows side, you will see in the samba
log, that it can't map the SID under windows to a UID under unix. This
will take, I think, a deeper look into the ACL's. I think, that we have
to use winbind at all, because it makes the SID->UID mapping. Using
group mapping is recommended, I think, but you have to consider the
rid's. If you make a usual mapping to the "Domain Users" group without
defining the rid, the last part of the SID will be generated
automatically (algorithm mapping, or so).
No solution, but maybe a hint. If you solve it, please post.
