I have a small network with XP/linux workstations On one Linux box there is a user which is the same as the user on the samba server However when the user creates a file on the share the permissions are not those of the user, but those of the usr_id of the user on the server ie: user creates file on share test.doc user is 503 on local machine user is 504 on remote machine ownership is 504 504 not user anyone any ideas
