samba: writing to network drives

["Brian Morgan" <bmorgan@greenville.edu>]

I'm running samba on linux 2.0.34 and having trouble writing to the drives
I've networked in windows.  I can connect to my linux partitions just fine,
but I am having trouble setting the permissions correctly in smb.conf to
allow me to write to or create directories from my windows machine.

Here's how a portion of my smb.conf file looks:

[root]
   path= /
   browseable = yes
   writable = yes
   read only = no
   create mask = 0775
   directory mask = 0775

[usr]
   path = /usr
   browseable = yes
   read only = no
   writable = yes
   create mask = 0775
   directory mask = 0775

>From what I've read in the smb.conf man pages, this seems like I should be
allowed write access to these directories, but it's not working.  Any
suggestions?
