What version of samba are you running and on what S?
What type of setup do you have on you samba server? Standalone? Domain
member? PDC?
Try changing
valid users = pierre, wendy
write list = pierre, wendy
To
valid users = +pierre, +wendy
write list = +pierre, +wendy
And see if it works. The "+" lets samba know that it is a local unix
user.

Hi guys
My client is really bugging me to get this working.
I create a folder called "private" and added this into my smb.conf file,
but when i browse to the folder "private" using wendy or pierre i get
access denied. soneone told me i must make sure the filesystem of the
folder private is set to nobody. Is that correct and how will i go on by
doing this.
[private]
writeable = yes
public = no
guest ok = no
path = /home/samba/private
valid users = pierre, wendy
write list = pierre, wendy
force user = nobody
Regards
Gerald
