samba - Feb 2003 - Files copied from windows box set owner to "nobody";[homes] problem

Hello,

I am using Samba 2.2.7 running on Solaris 8. I have also configured pam_smb 
1.1.6 to authenticate my user against my NT domain. I have a few problems 
though:

1) Every time I copy a file from my NT box to one of my Samba shares the 
owner is set to nobody, the only way I can change this is by logging in as 
root on the UNIX box and using 'chown'. What am I missing?

My smb.conf looks like this:

#Global parameters
        workgroup=mydomain
        security=share
        hosts allow=localhost, unixmachine, 192.168.1.
        hosts deny=All

[share]
        path=/share
        comment=Solaris Share
        guest ok=Yes
        read only=No

I thought this might be down to the fact that I didn't have a [homes] 
section in my smb.conf file, which leads me onto my second problem...

2) If I add a [homes] section like this:

[homes]
      guest account      valid users=%S
      read only =No
      create mask=0664
      directory mask=0775
      browseable=Yes

Every time I try to access the [homes] share "steve" I am prompted for
my
username and password which are not accepted. I have tried setting 
security=user and security=server in the global but to no avail, the same 
prompt appears. I can log into the UNIX box fine by telnetting and the dt 
login prompt using my username and NT password so I know pam_smb is working 
ok.

I am sure I am missing something obvious.

Thanks

Steve

Well, as I read this, you have guest ok=Yes and security=share. That means,
I believe, that when a user logs onto that share, without asking a password
the user is assigned the guest account, which I suppose defaults to nobody.
I think you have to read about passwords and samba, about which I know
almost nothing.
