[Samba] NEWBIE : Problem saving M$ word documents on samba file server
Hi, The users of my company's NT4 domain have their home drives located on a RH8 machine running Samba 2.2.7. Anytime a user saves a Microsoft Office document from a windows 2000 client to their home drive they lose write and execute permissions. Thus users can no longer edit their files (a serious problem!). I want users to have RWX permissions on their own files but it appears that office is changing the permissions of the files. This problem does not occur on windows 95/98 clients, or for users of Open Office. Thanks in advance for your help.

Perhaps the placing the following in your [homes] share might help: create mode = 0600 directory mode = 0700 making sure that the users will have full access to any directories or files they create.
