I am still having this problem and have not been able to make any progress.
To review, I am trying to access shares on my PDC. I can see the network
from my Linux workstation, browse the network, and mount shares. I can do
likewise from a windows workstation to my linux workstation. The problem
comes when I try to modify or create anything on the PDC share. Everything
on the PDC shows up as root:root with -rwxr-xr-x permissions. I have tried
changing permissions, and get no errors, but nothing changes. But if I su to
root, then I can do everything I want. From the NT side, permissions are set
to full control/everyone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

Ownership on every file on the WINNT server shows up as root:root. I was
doing a chmod 777, and the permissions didn't change.
