samba - Jun 2007 - Can create files, but not modify...

Hello,

I set up a new computer with CentOS 5.0 and Samba V3.0.25a.
I copied my "old stuff" from the existig PC to the new one, created my
samba shares and tried to connect from a Windows XP Home Edition PC.

Results:
1) I can open all old data
2) I can create new files
3) I cannot modify and open the new files

This seems a bit odd.

Here is the config data:
[global]
workgroup = KALDAUEN
server string = SONNE
security = SHARE
guest account = stasch
log level = 10
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
os level = 33
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
dns proxy = No
hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/24, 127.0.0.1

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /usr/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No

[dokumente]
path = /share/dokumente
read only = No
guest only = Yes
guest ok = Yes

[dok]
path = /share/doks
read only = No
guest only = Yes
guest ok = Yes


And here is part of the directory I tried to access:

drwxrwxrwx 3 stasch stasch 4096 25. Jun 14:12 .
drwxrwxrwx 46 stasch stasch 20480 23. Jun 19:55 ..
-rwxr--r-- 1 stasch stasch 0 25. Jun 08:04 b la.txt
-rwxr--r-- 1 stasch stasch 0 25. Jun 08:04 bla.txt
-rwxr--r-- 1 stasch stasch 0 23. Jun 20:41 Neu Bitmap.bmp
-rwxr--r-- 1 stasch stasch 10752 25. Jun 07:46 Neu Microsoft  
Word-Dokument (2).doc

The linux machine is running a 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5 kernel. There are not  
network (1 Gbit) restrictions like firewalls or something.
The windows node is running a up to date patched win xp home edition.

Could someone help me?
Thanks a lot.... I am at my wits end :-(

Thomas

	Try to use 'force create mode' or 'force directory mode',
or mask parameters, see smb.conf for more details about the
options and what they do.


	Kind regards,

Is this the word file that you tried to modify? If so there is a very
logical reason. When you save word does not modify a file it creates a
new one then deletes the old then renames the old to the new. In this
process the windows filesystems detect that and assign the new file
the permissions of the recently deleted file of the same name. This
wierd magic does not happen on linux filesystems so you have to do
what the other user said force directory modes...
