There is probably a very simple solution to my problem. I have a network compromised of a mix of windows and linux machines. I have a Suse 10.1 machine with several shares setup, I'll refer to it as the server. I am trying to rely on file system security to allow read/write permissions on the server. This solution works well on my windows machine with mapped drives. But when I connect to the shares via my Fedora 7 machine, I can't write files. This worked fine when I was using fedora core 6.

The server has a copy of all the users created on it, and they are members of a group that gives them permissions to write in all the shares. The one thing that I have noticed is that when I connect to the server via the Fedora machine, the log.smbd states that I've connected as nobody. Is there anyway to change who I connect as without having to mount and explicitly stating the user to connect as?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
