I'm realizing I may have completely misunderstood the question.

Is this pertaining:

  1. Ownership and permission as viewed from the _Samba_ server
     providing the shares?

  2. Ownership and permission as viewed from the _Samba_ client,
     _mounting_ the shares?

...if the latter, I may have discussed this with you (or someone else
with a similar problem) on IRC recently.  Specifying uid/gid on the
mount option should work.  Hrm.


Peace.
