samba - Feb 2007 - cygwin and linux permissions?

I have a linux box (FC5) with samba 3.0.23c and most things are running fine.
Today I'm setting up cygwin on a windows box so a user can ssh into the
box. I figure out how to have cygwin authenticate using the samba PDC. The
user gets the linux home directory that has been exported to windows H:\
across samba. Now the user is trying to ssh back to a different unix box and
ssh is complaining about file permissions. I track this back to samba in
that the permissions seem odd.

On linux I 'touch howard' and the file has permissions 0644, fine. On
cygin and windows this file also has 0644, fine. On cygwin/windows Ichmod
0600 $file' and 'ls -l $file' and the file still shows 0644 and no
errors.

On linux if I 'chmod 0600 $file' and then 'ls -l $file' on
windows the
file permissions still show 0644. No change, like the file permissions ar
cached somewhere.

Thoughts?

Maybe this is not a cygwin issue and I'm just noticing it through cygwin.
I have a file ~/.ssh/id_rsa that on unix is set to 600. I want through cygwin
and 'ls -l ~/.ssh/id_rsa' for the reported permissions to be 600
(-rw-------),
however the reported permissions are 644 (-rw-r--r--). What setting in smb.conf
will force the proper reporting of 600?

Have you tried  "profile acls = yes"  in smb.conf?

Ah, if you are attempting to join the domain, then it could be that the
user name has not been set up properly. Samba can map Windows users if
the names are different or use the Windows name if it is the same as a
Unix name (handy in XP Home workstations which don't have domain logins).

Have you joined the computer to the domain?
Have you set up the Windows user account on the Samba server?
Have you enabled the Windows user account on the Samba server?
