Here is part of my smb.conf:

#============================ Share Definitions ==============================
[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
   writable = yes
   valid users = %S
   create mode = 0664
   directory mode = 0775
# If you want users samba doesn't recognize to be mapped to a guest user
; map to guest = bad user

[myshare]
path = /abc/efg
public = no
valid users = smith
writable = yes
printable = no
create mask = 0765

These are uncommented sections.
Please, let me know if this tells you anything.
Thanks in advance.
