samba - Jun 2006 - Files are being saved as read-only

Hi,

I'm using extended ACLs and winbind so that file ownerships and 
permissions are directly tied to domain accounts (e.g., owner is 
MYDOMAIN\myname).  My problem is that when a user opens up, modifies, 
and then saves the file, the user's UNIX level permissions change from 
'rw-' to 'r--' -- in other words, the write permission gets
dropped.
I've played with the basic and extended permissions of the parent 
folder, and I've looked at the masks in smb.conf, but nothing I've done 
so far has resolved the issue

Any idea what's going on or what might be causing this?

Thanks.

Folks,

It turns out that the problem is a Microsoftism since it only happens 
with Office documents.  It also tiurns out that only if  profile acls is 
set to 'yes' in smb.conf do you see the problem.  Set it to 'no'
and no
problem.  Wierd eh??

Thanks,
Rob
