It is by passes with the forcing of the users and groups. Mainly it's for detail. But I promise I spent two days on trying to get this working right and this is the only way it would work and integrate with Windows also. The solution I was given by a long time Unix admin was use NFS and forget it but I could not do that. Also in your linux client try the fstab entry with the correct user setting you need and uid and password.
