Samba and Windows user ids

[Jerry Feldman]

At work, I export our home directories as well as a few others. I'm
using NIS for password management on RHEL 5.2. Normally when a Windows
user creates a file, the user id is changed to nobody. This was fine for
me since most Windows users were simply viewing files, but one of my
coworkers now wants to be able to update files in his home directory,
and if windows wants to update an existing file, he will have problems
as well as when he logs into Linux.  Since we only have 6 people in the
office and only 1 person who currently wants to be able to modify files
on both Linux and Windows, I'd like a fairly simple solution. Would
something like "Share-level" security work where it would require users
to enter their password to obtain their home directory. Other
directories would continue to use 'User-level' security.
