I've got two linux machines, one server running a samba share with the following options:
[Projects] path = /home/remote_user/Projects writeable = yes force user = remote_userI mounted this to the client using:
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=remote_user //192.168.1.200/Projects /home/local_user/ProjectsThe mount was successful and I can access the files for read, but I cannot write, modify, or delete any of the contents in this mount.
I have tried all sorts of options in the smb.conf file including read only = no, forcing user/groups, public options, etc. I restarted the smbd service and remounted the drive each time and still the permissions would not change. I've gone through several similar questions on this site and others and none of their resolutions seem to resolve my issue.
When I ll in the directory from the client:

The user/group names (and uid/gid) on the server differ from the clients (intentional, and desirable). FWIW, the client is WSL2.
