Data SAMBA is connecting to the share somehow as root
I'm running Solaris 10 with Samba server. The client is a Windows XP desktop. I have set this up for various other servers and this is the first time that I'm seeing the problem.

I have a prod & test solaris samba server configured exactly the same and the share is encrypted by Vormetric. The production server works like a charm, NO PROBS. But the test server doesn't. Samba access is restricted by IP but I'm using the guest account for the connection. In order for my app to work, the files coming across have to be a specifc user - encr.

FACTS
I am able to connect to the share from the Windows client.
I can access and create dirs & files from the Windows client.
The files and directories are created from the client with the correct ownership & file permissions encr
Files created from the client appear encrypted to the encr user on the server.
Files created on the server as encr are accessible but encrypted to the user on the Windows XP client.
Verified all permission on the directories in the path

Becasue of how Vormetric has the encryption configured, I can identify that something is occurring as root somewhere in the samba transactions but I do not know what. This works on prod but not test and I have configured samba the same on both. But, since these servers I inherited, there may have been something configured before that I'm missing.

any suggestions
