[Samba] Windows XP Pro and Samba (file saving)

Sometimes when I save a file to a samba-shared drive the application is 
unable to save there and asks if the file is write protected or if the disk 
is full.
If I then save it to a local drive and copy it there using Windows 
Explorer, it can overwrite the file fine.
Do I need to make that myriad of changes to my XP Pro registry?
Most of the time it works fine, just from time to time it will give this error.
I also have a problem with DOS commands (move/xcopy) working with mapped 
samba drives.
The drive is mapped to U: drive.

E.G.
IT.
Marketing. 
Projects.
Directors.

And it there a front-end tool that I can use to create a domain and
users to it.
Regards
Marcus

[Samba] How to setup a more than one domain.

Unless I missed something really large... you can have exactly one 
domain per server, same with windows.

What exactly are you trying to gain by having completely seperate 
domains.  You could most likely use UNIX groups to get most of the 
security restrictions and customizations you want.  Properly configuring 
shares and/or filesystem level security will allow you to do a lot of 
what a sane configuration would need, and with some creativity, you can 
meet insane requirements too ;)

No ideas then anyone?
-----------------------

Couldn't get the password sync to work with the unix passwords, so created 
them by hand.

Logon script:
C:\Windows\logon.bat

@Echo off
\\spooty\waulok\logon.bat

$ cat logon.bat

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
"testparm"
# to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors.
