Which smbd are you using? The one on debian sarge wants to have write access

The most common use case for the '-smb' option may be '-smb $HOME'.
There is a problem with this case:
Windows attempts to connect as user "nobody". Smbd allows the connection
-- unfortunately, it also maps the "nobody" accesses to the host's
"nobody" account, so all write accesses fail.
