I really do have to start checking email more frequently! Your smb.conf
normally would not need changing if it worked, instead you would mount
manually with a command like:

mount -t cifs -o guest //192.168.1.100/share /path_to/mount

with of course the proper IP address inserted and the path.

in /etc/fstab, the relevant line would look something like:

//192.168.1.100/share /path_to/mount noauto,users,rw,exec 0 0

If you wanted users to be able to mount said path but didn't want said
share always mounted. Substitute auto for noauto if you want it
permanently mounted on startup.

Thanks, Art, but the problem isn't on the Linux client side. The Linux box is the server in my situation; the client boxes are Mac OS and Win 7. The Linux box shares the directory rw, but the clients don't think they have write permissions.
