[Samba] share write access

[Donald W Watson]

Hi,

I am testing share parameters, and have the following share definition:

## Section - [shareA]
[shareA]
      path = /tmp/shareA
      writelist = user1

and do not understand why user1 cannot write files in the share when
connected as user1.  Unix permissions for the share files are rw for
everyone, and the share directory has wide-open permissions.  Samba version
is 3.0.20b-3.4-SUSE.

Thanks for any help anyone can give.  Here is the complete smb.conf file
(note guest parameters):
