Sounds like an issue I had in the past - doesn't samba run as a different user? Does it have to be added to the 'slingers' group?

Hi Gang, I'm having a heck of a time overwriting mode-664 files across a SMB or CIFS connection. Here's the scoop: Host: FC3, running SMB/NMB (among other things) Client: Debian Sarge with both smbfs and cifs kernel modules The file on the server is something like this: -rw-rw-r-- 1 notme slingers 5928 May 4 8:44 afile.html It's owned by a user that isn't me, but its group ownership (slingers) is a group of which I'm a member. From a shell on the server, I have no problems modifying the file as myself. However.. From my SMB client, if I try to save a modification, or overwrite it in any way, first the server truncates the file to 0, then responds with "Permission Denied." I've tried remounting with both smbfs and cifs, I've tried rebooting my client, I've tried restarting the SMB service on the server, all to no avail. And here's another little tidbit I just discovered: It only seems to be a problem with GUI apps. I can vi the files across smb till my heart's content.. It's just when using Konqueror to copy files around, or using Kate to edit, that I encounter these truncate-then-deny problems. Anyone else seen this? Any suggestions?
