[Samba] Re: uid and gid problems with linux as client and server

[Igor Belyi]

As far as I know smbfs uses uid and gid only for those shares which do 
not have their own access attributes. If server exports access 
attributes smbfs obeys them.

You can play with 'force user' and 'force group' attribute for this 
share to force access to be by uid and gid known on server.
