samba - Jan 2006 - Question about executable permissions with samba

I have a setup where i am using samba to access my linux box through 
windows, to edit scripts and stuff. But say if a script as executable 
permissions for all when i open it in windows through samba, on saving it 
the prior permissions are overwritten by samba's default permission. Is 
there a way to tell samba to keep the file prior permission.

By default, Samba uses the executable flags to store DOS attributes. 
To change this, see the "map hidden", "map system",
"map archive", and
"store dos attributes" options in smb.conf.
