samba - Dec 2001 - Unable to write to a directory I created and own with Windows 200 0

Dear SAMBA Gurus:



This is my first samba installation. So please bear with me. I set up my
UNIX id the way my Windows 2000 ID is. I am able to map my home directory.
But I am unable to write to it. When I went to the UNIX server running samba
and set the permission to 777 I am able to write to the directory which is
mapped. 

The UNIX server is a HP Server.  This is how my SMB.CONF file entries look
like:
[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
   hide dot files = no
   read only = no
[nm93572]
   path = /home/nm93572

Could someone please help me out?

Regards,

Kennedy

- Did you map  /homes with the -R (recursive) flag so that nm93572 is 777 as
well?
- try writable=yes in the nm93572 share
