samba - Oct 2005 - Wierd Samba permissions problem (URGENT)

Hello List,

Please CC me on responses as I am not currently subscribed to the list.

Please see the following attached files for details.

Basically, Samba comes back and says the our users have no rights to create /
modify / delete files on a share, even though the file system permissions seem
correct and the smb.conf file looks good and the user either owns the file /
directory or is listed in the group.

Which version of samba are you using? Until 3.0.14 there was a bug in the
ACL handling of Samba afaik. The symptoms you describe sound very similar.
