as a first guess, i'd guess you attach to the samba server as 'nobody' and 'nobody' has permissions to write there. i don't know if my diagnosis is accurate, but if so, there are many ways to solve this problem - connect as a different user on samba - coordinate unix/windows permissions better - run a script on unix side to change permissions before running stuff > I'd like to fix this from the windows side if possible because that's > where my script exists, then it would be transparent to the users that > extra stuff is being done. but the problem is with unix/windows permissions. it's not just windows. and imagine this- unix is stricter about permissions than windows! it's more of a pain to set up, but this is cost for not allowing every 12 year old programmer to create another outlook virus!
