No.

I can read and change files, but not create new files or dirs.

I am using smbfs. I connect via /etc/fstab like this:
//fedora.idg.dk/jfl    /mnt/jfl        smbfs   username=jfl,password=xxx 
    0   0

If I login to the server via ssh as jfl I can create files and dirs.
When I try via the share i get "Access denied to /mnt/jfl/test"

This is my smb.conf on my Linux client:
[global]
         workgroup = IDG_DK
         server string = %h server (Samba %v)
         obey pam restrictions = Yes
         passdb backend = tdbsam, guest
         passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
         passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n 
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .
         syslog = 0
         log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
         max log size = 1000
         dns proxy = No
         panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
         invalid users = root

[homes]
         comment = Home Directories
         create mask = 0700
         directory mask = 0700
         browseable = No

[printers]
         comment = All Printers
         path = /tmp
         create mask = 0700
         printable = Yes
         browseable = No

[print$]
         comment = Printer Drivers
         path = /var/lib/samba/printers
