With no usermap file or script, the behavior is the same: can't write to

I thought my setup was almost that, with the exception of getting unix 
users from NIS instead of winbindd. Would that not work?

I'm not sure this will get us anything, particularly since Mac users

directories for Windows and Unix. They both contain the same users and 
have the same uid/gid numbers, but there are two directories.
