I commented out my
       valid users = @users
       admin users = @admin
       write list = @admin
and then it works.   However I want to have teh share as readonly for
everyone except people in admin group.  If I uncomment the write list,
its still read only.

Any pointers?   These options do work on my gentoo box so a bit
confused as to why not on Ubuntu.

Thanks
