At the end of my smb.conf file I have:- [Scans] comment = Digikam scans for chrisx path = /home/chrisx/pictures/Scans writeable = yes force user = chrisx [xpIsbd] comment = ISBD on XP path = /home/isbd/xpIsbd writeable = yes force user = isbd I thought this would mean that when I connect to these shares from my XP machine (on which I am user chris) any files and/or directories I create there would be created as users chrisx and isbd respectively. However it's not working, I can connect to the shares without any problem but files/directories are always created with owner chris. What am I doing wrong?
