SAMBA HELP

Newbie here....

I have sharing setup and its working ok with one small problem.

After the user logs into samba all his files are saved as root.

What setting do I need to look at so that the user they log in as matches the owner of the files they drop on the linux file system?

I.e. they log in as "user" and the files they create are owned by root
I want them to log in as "user" and the files they create also to be owned by "user"

Make sense?

I did use SWAT.

I set force user to "user" force group, etc it doesn't seem to take.
The read/write options are all set to "user".

The files keep showing up as root.
