I've got a Linux server running Ubuntu and Samba. I've created two shares in Samba that point to directories that are owned by the user "cameron".

When I attempt to connect to these shares on Windows 7 is connects and allows me to see the files but they are read-only. This is the desired action for guest users but not for authenticated users.

My user on the Windows client is "Cameron" and has the same password as the Linux user "cameron".

I don't think my Windows user has authenticated against the Linux user. I even created a users.map file to map the user cameron (linux) to Cameron (windows) but still it does not work.

Here is my samba config file (UPDATED):

[global]
    server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
    map to guest = Bad User
    passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
    passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
    username map = /etc/samba/users.map
    syslog = 0
    log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
    max log size = 1000
    os level = 65
    preferred master = Yes
    dns proxy = No
    wins support = Yes
    usershare allow guests = Yes
    panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
    valid users = cameron
    write list = cameron

[www]
    path = /usr/local/apache2/htdocs
    write list = @www-data
    force group = www-data
    guest ok = Yes

[cameron]
    path = /home/cameron
    write list = @www-data
    force group = www-data
    guest ok = Yes
