i have been trying to get this working for hours. i have finally gotten
the file to allow me to get to the samba server from a windows machine,
however, the thing won't let me write. Can i get some help please?
i've tried the howto's and i think my brain is shutting down. i've
tried trimming down the useless entries to what i have changed.
