The only issue with doing this is that the Windows server already resides on
a redundant and custom security featured server becasue of somes reasons.
ie, it is a server with normal set of redundant power supplies, fans, RAID
5, with on online set of spare drives, but it has some custom physical
security characteristics in its environment, hardware, and software. We
likely could not afford a second such device and it would be less than ideal
to have Samba on a lesser device when the existing should be able to solve
it.

We may have come up with a solution that we are looking into. If we mount
the share and include the options for uid and gid in the mount, then the
access privledges so far seem to work out properly.

Thanks for the response though!
