Jun 21 16:30:30 <iwo> the permissions on my samba shares are driving me nuts, anyone here good with samba problems?
Jun 21 16:31:01 <iwo> i have two disks mounted via /unslung/rc.samba
Jun 21 16:31:25 <iwo> the rc.samba also adds lines to /etc/samba/smb.conf
Jun 21 16:31:30 <iwo> (unslung 6.10)
Jun 21 16:31:54 <iwo> (samba v3.0.11) 
Jun 21 16:32:28 <iwo> on my laptop running ubuntu, i've added the two shares into my /etc/fstab so that they get mounted at bootup (using cifs mode)
Jun 21 16:33:08 <iwo> i have read and write access to the files that are shared, and all seems to work fine... 
Jun 21 16:33:36 <iwo> however if i create a file or directory myself, i don't have read or write access to the file or directory!
Jun 21 16:33:59 <iwo> i create it, and the owner is (for some reason) root, and the permissions are set to -rw-------
Jun 21 16:34:05 <iwo> so only root can read/write
Jun 21 16:34:27 <iwo> i don't know why the owner is root (I'm not logging on the the share as root, i'm just a guest)
Jun 21 16:34:59 <iwo> so i then tried changing /etc/fstab so that i AM logging on as root - this makes no difference
