Map uid/gid of SMB share to local account?

Hi all,

When using cygwin to access a samba share residing on a linux host, I 
get things like the following:
> -rw-r--r-- 1 ???????? ????????  13K Sep  7  2010 foo
> drwxr-xr-x 1 ???????? ????????    0 Apr 26  2009 bar/

Logging into the box directly shows this instead:
> -rw-r--r--  1 ryanjohn ryangrp    13108 2010-09-07 05:39 foo
> drwxr-xr-x  2 ryanjohn ryangrp        4 2009-04-26 15:24 bar/
The corresponding uid/gid are 2680/10099.

The main annoyance is that everything is read-only, even though I own 
the files. I remember a long time ago being able to mount a samba share 
under linux and telling it what uid/gid to use for unrecognized owners, 
but I can't remember the magic incantation or find it on Google; plus, 
I'm not sure it would work in cygwin anyway, since the mount utilities 
are totally different.

Ideas?
Ryan
