Yes, I know.  I originally only had writable = yes, but I added the other
out of frustration with Samba insisting the share is read-only.

Yes, I sent the HUP signal to the daemon to tell it to re-load its
configuration file.

Would they?  I figured only Domain Admins would be allowed to access the
share at all, then the "force group" would take effect after that.  I
took
the "force group" line out, but it made no difference, I still
can't create
any files.

Hi, just a thought....

Are the LINUX permissions on the directory set correctly ? Make sure it's
owned by your group,  I got caught out by that a few times when I created a
new directory as "root" and then tried to share it for
"users"

The directory is owned by "INTERCLEAN+Domain Admins".  I finally gave
up and
set the user ownership to myself...it works now for me, which is enough for
now, since currently I'm the only active domain admin.
