Samba: write access from Ubuntu but not arch ?!?

Hi !

I am currently dual booting Arch and Ubuntu on my laptop and have a problem with getting write access to samba shares on an Arch mythtv backend.

I have full write access when using Ubuntu on the laptop, but when I boot into Arch I can see the shared folders and their contents, but I do not have write access.

The laptop Arch and Ubuntu user names are the same, as are the passwords (in case that matters).

This is the smb.conf on the Arch backend:

[global]
workgroup = MYGROUP
netbios name = BACKEND
server string = laffi
wins support = yes
wins server = 192.168.1.103
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
map to guest = bad user
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
local master = no
dns proxy = no
guest account = laffi

[public]
path = /home/laffi
public = yes
only guest = yes
writable = yes

Any ideas ?

Nothing ?

This is currently the show stopper for switching my laptop to Arch, so any help with getting this problem sorted will be much appreciated ;-)
