hi,
a couple of things, (not wrong just different)
you seem to repeat a whole heap of setting this might confuse things
> unix password sync = no
> comment = MailServer
> encrypt passwords = no
> password level = 0
> null passwords = no
> os level = 0
> preferred master = no
> domain master = no
> wins support = no
> dead time = 0
> debug level = 0
> [windows]
> path = /home/windows
> public = yes
> browseable = yes
I think you need writeable = yes the default is no
also check the unix permissions on /home/windows
Have fun,
John Rogers
