[samba] uid not being set

[Daniel Wilson]

Hi,

Does anybody know what causes this to happen? (not setting uid)

i have read that if your nobody account has a uid of -1 and gid -2 you 
get this error, however i created a new user and set "guest account = 
<new-user>" in smb.conf and this still doesnt fix.

I think this could be th answer to my groups not working.
