Map uid/gid of SMB share to local account?


Hi all,

When using cygwin to access a samba share residing on a linux host, I get things like the following:
-rw-r--r-- 1 ???????? ????????  13K Sep  7  2010 foo
drwxr-xr-x 1 ???????? ????????    0 Apr 26  2009 bar/

Logging into the box directly shows this instead:
-rw-r--r--  1 ryanjohn ryangrp    13108 2010-09-07 05:39 foo
drwxr-xr-x  2 ryanjohn ryangrp        4 2009-04-26 15:24 bar/
The corresponding uid/gid are 2680/10099.

The main annoyance is that everything is read-only, even though I own the files. I remember a long time ago being able to mount a samba share under linux and telling it what uid/gid to use for unrecognized owners, but I can't remember the magic incantation or find it on Google; plus, I'm not sure it would work in cygwin anyway, since the mount utilities are totally different.

Ideas?
Ryan
