File ownership being changed to root:wheel ownership after copying to samba server

[Troy]

I figured it out from your hints.  I had

admin users = foo, bar

and then in my username-map I had

foo=bar

and that magically made it become root.

To fix it, I removed foo and only left

admin users = bar

Thank you
