You're right---it apparently wasn't doing anything. But Samba is supposed to re-initialize from smb.conf every 60 seconds, or so I thought ...

Anyway, I did a HUP on smbd and all of a sudden my changes showed up. I retained two of the changes to the smb.conf file, I'm not sure which ultimately worked or whether it was a combination thereof:

• I added smbusers and a username map line to smb.conf as described earlier.
• I added guest account = apache, and guest ok = yes to the share definition.

Also, I had earlier set the umask at wardk's and your suggestion for both apache and the Samba user as well as setgid on the apache document root where the share is located.

Thanks to all for your help!
