Cheers guys.  Those two answers have switched a light on this dim
brain of mine :-)  I do recall seing something about this in the Samba
book I'm reading.  Which is hwy I had a bit of an idea that I needed
to incorporate a list of users somewhere.... I just didn't know where.

I have matched up the usernames on the Win tin and the Linux tin
(making sure they are the same case etc. as I know that Linux is much
more refined than Microsoft when it comes to case sensitivity) so
hopefully, when I have the file set up correctly, it'll be all systems
go :-)  I'll post the results when I've tinkered..
