Create an account for everyone on the file server and use the "user map"
function of samba to keep the ownership correctly aligned. This will take
care of the Windows users. As for keeping the owner straight when using an
nfs mount, I dont know if you can map ID's, but I *think* you can. Gotta
be in the docs somewhere.
