Is this simply impossible? No one's replied, or suggested another
alternative... Am I asking on the wrong list perhaps?

Hi Folks. I'm trying to setup Samba and having a bit of a
problem... However, I'm not sure if it's a Samba issue, or NFS issue.
The setup is as follows:
Server 1 --> exports /storage/ftpusers
In that folder, there are numerous user folders that are owned by
each specific user.
Server 2 --> nfs mounts server1:/storage/ftpusers as /mnt/ftpusers
At the same time, it also has /mnt/ftpusers setup to be shared
through Samba as follows:
[ftpusers]
comment = Client FTP
browseable = yes
writable = yes
path = /mnt/ftpusers
guest ok = yes
public = yes
read only = no
Server 3 (which is a windows box) will then get onto //server2/ftpusers
The problem I'm having is that I can't see/write anything inside any
of the user folders that's within /ftpusers from the windows box. My
guess is because the WinBox accesses it as a guest user, where the
folder are owned by real users. I need to be able to do this so we can
place files for our clients into their respective folders (from within
our network - hence the convoluted way of doing things.)
Suggestions?
