Hi Guys, 

Your issues are to do with inconsistencies between the NT login and the Linux 
user account. You should be able to get around any differences by using the 
"force mode" parameters in your smb.conf file. Below are a couple of examples;

[share]
    comment = Shared directory root
    path = /home/share
    public = yes
    browseable = yes
    guest ok = yes
    writable = yes
    users = nobody
    force create mode = 0777
    force directory mode = 0777
 
[cad]
    comment = CAD directory
    path = /home/share/cad
    public = yes
    browseable = yes
    guest ok = yes
    writable = yes
    users = nobody
    force create mode = 0777
    force directory mode = 0777
 
[office]
    comment = Administrative Office Share
    path = /home/office
    public = yes
    browseable = yes
    guest ok = no
    writable = yes
    users = vickim annette administrator kristi monica
    force create mode = 0770
    force directory mode = 0770

Cheers,
Brad
