SAMBA

[Asko Kauppi]

You might have bumped in the bug as I did.

Situation at my end:
	OS X host sharing its disk via Samba (reasons found in earlier posts..)
	Client 'ls -al' shows weird user id's for those files (501, 504)
	Seems those uid's are actually the ones the OS X server uses (not any 
client id's)

The weirdest thing is, this setup works perfectly with _any_other_ 
samba client (WinXP, NetBSD, Gentoo Linux) but not Ubuntu.

The fast (only?) cure:  change your user id to the one you get. I did, 
and it works. :)
