samba - Feb 2003 - Rare problem with MS Office shared docs

Hello

I was working with an old version of Samba (2.0.6) and all was working 
correctly but i have installed a new version (2.2.3) and problems has 
started.

The smb.conf file is the same that i was using at prior version (i have 
included it at end of file)

The problem seem to be only with MS Office shared files. When an user modify 
or write a new MS Office file nobody else than the owner can modify it, he 
can only read it. I have check file permissions and are set to 0777 so i dont 
understand why this is happening.

I have created TXT file and this problem dosent happen.

I have chaged permissions to:
        create mask = 0777
        force create mode = 0777
        directory mask = 0777
        force directory mode = 0777
and even so, problems dosent desapear.

Only way i have found to make ir work is to force user and force group to an 
specific one, but i lose information about who create or modify the file.

Can anybody help me?

Regards

------------ smb.conf file ---------------------

[global]
        workgroup = INTER_RED1
        netbios name = CACHO1
        netbios aliases = VIRTUAL
        map to guest = Bad User
        passwd chat = *nuevo*password* %n\n *nuevo*password* %n\n *cambiado*
        log file = /etc/samba/log.%m
        time server = Yes
        keepalive = 30
        lm announce = False
        domain master = False

[admon]
        comment = Directorio de Administracion
        path = /datos/admon
        guest account         valid users = @ADMON
        write list = @ADMON
        read only = No
        create mask = 0770
        force create mode = 0770
        directory mask = 0770
        force directory mode = 0770

[homes]
        comment = Directorios de usuario
        read only = No
        create mask = 0750
        browseable = No

[public]
        comment = Directorio de datos generales
        path = /datos/public
        valid users = @general
        write list = @general
        read only = No
        create mask = 0770
        force create mode = 0770
        directory mask = 0770
        force directory mode = 0770

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /tmp
        create mask = 0700
        guest ok = Yes
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No

------------- End of smb.conf file ---------------

All problem were solved doing this:

smb.conf file was left configured with security=user and write and acces 
privileges set to @mygroup

1) i change from Plain Text Password to encrypted
2) i use smbpaswd tp add all my users and set password for them (this was not 
requiered at my previous samba version)
3) i restart all samba services (changes were not readed correctly without 
doing this)

all seems to work fine now.

Thank you everybody for your help
