I am trying to do something very simple with Samba:
be able to access the ENTIRE linux filesystem from NT V4.0 sp3 (with the
Samba-necessary encryption registry setting added).

I can do things like the following from NT:
net use l: \\sambaserver\test
net use l: \\sambaserver\public

It connects, shows up in NT Explorer, I can view the files, directories,
etc.

HOWEVER, I cannot make files or directories.  I would like for any files or
directories I make to be set as root ownership.  So far I am just getting
'access denied' anytime I try to change anything on the Samba server
filesystem.

As always, your help is appreciated!  Thanks....

  writable = true

[public]

  public = yes
[IPC$]
  public = yes
