The problem is this: A windows user can take a document off of the fileserver and edit that file and save it back to the fileserver, no problem. A Mac user can connect to the fileserver and edit the same document but when trying to save back to the fileserver they are asked to rename the file because one by that name already exists. I think it is a permissions problem but am not quite sure how to fix it. Has anyone setup a samba server that serves both windows and Macs? We have only two users on the fileserver 'Users' and 'ExecUsers' execusers can access both users and execusers files and users can only access users.
