I have a Samba server running on a Fedora Core 1 Linux server, and my problem is that Windows users can create files but Linux users can not.

This is my smb.conf file on the Samba server: 

[global]
       workgroup = IDG_DK
       server string = WebDev
       log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
       max log size = 50

[jfl]
       path = /var/www/websites/jfl
       valid users = jfl
       read only = No


I'm confused by your question. Did you leave out part of the smb.conf file? Did you leave out part of the question? 

No.

Given the information you've given, user "jfl" should have read-write access to \\webdev\jfl, and no one else should have any access. This is true whether you are connecting from a Windows system or another Linux system. 

I can read and change files, but not create new files or dirs.

I'm not sure in what context "Linux users" cannot create files. ARe you using smbfs or cifs to connect from one Linux system to another? Is the connection being made as user "jfl"? Are the smbfs/cifs parameters set up right?

I am using smbfs. I connect via /etc/fstab like this:
//fedora.idg.dk/jfl /mnt/jfl smbfs username=jfl,password=xxx 0 0

Or are you saying that Linux users logged on to this system cannot create files in /var/www/websites/jfl? If so, that sounds like a matter of filesystem permissions. 

If I login to the server via ssh as jfl I can create files and dirs.
When I try via the share i get "Access denied to /mnt/jfl/test"

This is my smb.conf on my Linux client:
[global]
workgroup = IDG_DK
server string = %h server (Samba %v)
obey pam restrictions = Yes
passdb backend = tdbsam, guest
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .
syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
dns proxy = No
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
invalid users = root

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        create mask = 0700
        directory mask = 0700
        browseable = No

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /tmp
        create mask = 0700
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No

[print$]
        comment = Printer Drivers
        path = /var/lib/samba/printers


Thanks,
Jacob
