Let me try again. If you log in the Linux machine as klrhodes or
hbrhodes, can you write to the /misc/R2314 directory? It the two
users can not write to the directory when logged in locally, then
your Samba config will not let you write to the directories. You may
want to check the Samba logs, (/var/log/samba) as well as
/var/log/messages. Also, when you are logged into the Windows machie
as klrhodes, (or browsing shares as that user), you should only be
able to see klrhodes's home directory.
