hi guys, i am running samba 2.2.8 as a PDC with about 30 xp clients. i upgraded the clients to xp about a month ago and since then i have experienced problems with 2 users permissions. if they access and save any file it is rewritten with 700 permission from 750. it doesnt seem client based as if they log on from any machine they have the same effect. hope someone has some thoughts shaun
