[Samba] Can Map shares but cannot write

[Michael Lyon]

I've added in: username map = /etc/samba/smbusers

[root at vm-stusrv ~]# more /etc/samba/smbusers
# Unix_name = SMB_name1 SMB_name2 ...
root = administrator
nobody = guest

Restarted smb.

No luck.

Thanks all for the help so far though!

Mike
