samba - Mar 2006 - Owner changes when modifying Excel & Word files

Dear all,

I am using Samba 3.0.20-4 SUSE.
When a user (under Windows) modifies an Excel or Word file, he/she
becomes the owner of that file !!!
I have read that this is because Excel & Word delete the original file
and recreate a new one with the modifications.
But I didn't find a solution to prevent this.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

There is not solution and it is by design.  You can read all about it on
the samba.org page.  They have covered it extensively.

Look at the "inherit owner" or other similar parameters.

Jeremy.

Those settings would definitely work, but not unless you had a share defined for
each group.  If that is the case, then it would work just fine.  Another
potential option is to use default ACLs.

My original comments were merely to point out that this is exactly the way Samba
was supposed to work.
