[Samba] problems with share permissions

[Luke Barone]

Pictures do not load on the mailing list. If they're relevant, post them on
a site such as Imgur, and provide the link.

Can you also post the [global] section of your smb.conf file? Are you setup
using an Active Directory, a PDC, or a stand-alone?

I find it's much easier not specifying users in the smb.conf file, and
using Windows or Linux permissions to manage them.
