I am using Samba 3.6.6 on Debian Wheezy. I want to be able to change www files on my dev server using my macbook. So I setup samba and made a share for the /var/www directory.
I added the users bart & root to samba to connect. And connect using command K and then smb://192.168.2.100 (my samba server). As apache uses www-data as a user and group for the www files I use force user and force group in samba to prevent errors in the rights. However it does force the group www-data, but doesn't force the user. Every file I create is being owned by root in the group www-data. To seek for errors I tailed the logs in /var/log/samba and only found an error in the log.smbd when restarting the samba service. See the log here: smbd version 3.6.6 started.

This did not have any effect. Can you help me out?
