by I had a similar problem. There is an insecure, brute-force fix which I
ended up using since I wasn't worried about security and I got tired of
trying various permission and access rights permutations (I am sure
there is a simple, elegant answer to your problem -- I just don't know
it). Add the following to the properties of your /win share:
admin users = <user on B>.
Again, this is a potential security problem, because <user on B> has
root access to the share, so don't do it if you are worried about that
sort of thing. Also, keep in mind that files written to a share by an
admin user are owned by root, not <user on B>.
