[CLUE-Tech] samba file permissions

[Mike Staver]

Oops.... here's where I screwed up:

-ousername=administrator,uid=nobody

I was using smbmount with a uid of nobody... that explains why wwwrun 
didn't have permission :)  Thanks Dave, sometimes just restating the 
obvious helps me figure out things.
