Samba permission problem

[Shlomo Solomon]

It's not a lock problem (see further details below) and the other
machine is also Linux.

Just to be a bit clearer, if I open Kwrite on the other (Linux) machine,
write some text and "save as" to the shared partition, the file is
created. If I now make a change to the file and try to save, I get an
error message saying I don't have permission (sorry, I don't remember
the exact message and am not at the other machine right now).
