Stubborn file ownership problem! Argh!

Hi, I have Apache running well on a Linux server, with Samba installed. I do must of my work in Notepad2 on a Windows box using Samba shares on which I am logged in as a user on the box (non-root).

I recently decided to expand into cgi-perl. My /htdocs/cgi-bin directory is already part of a working Samba share.

It's permissions are 2755.

Whenever I create a new file through the Samba share in the cgi-bin folder, it's owned by root. The gid membership passes along just fine, but the ownership is root. Therefore I can't access it on the web.

Seems like it should be owned by the user I'm logged in as in Samba. Why is this?
