Some folders created in Samba share get nobody as owner, rather than forced user


Hi everybody. I have a samba share on one of my servers, and just looking at all the folders created in there, I noticed for the owner user, some of them have "nobody" but have the correct group. In my smb.conf, i use force user and force group for this share.

Based on the files/subfolders inside those folders, the person who created the folder might have been using an OSX machine possibly, but can't confirm this.

Does anyone know how to prevent this happening? I'm guessing maybe it was a Mac since OSX is based on unix, so maybe that screwed the permissions up and overrode my force user in the samba config?

I'm running version 3.6.9-164.el6 of samba.
