[Samba] Editing file changes its owner (Samba 3.0.7).
Hello !! When a user edits a file belonging to another user and then saves the file he becomes the owner of that file. Both users belong to the same group and the file can be read or written to by the group members. Server: Red hat 9, kernel 2.4.20-31.9, Samba 3.0.7, unix extensions enabled Client: Red hat 9, kernel 2.4.20-31.9, shares mounted via smbfs or cifs (the same behaviour). Is that all normal or did I do something wrong ? I'll appreciate your comments and suggestions. Best regards, Przemyslaw Tokarski Lodz, Poland

You can obtain a PDF of the HOWTO from: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-HOWTO.pdf If your case matches this situation the probem you are dealing with is a known feature of how Windows Office products function. Please see the work-around that has been documented in the HOWTO.
