I upgraded from 3.2.7 to 3.3.1 and am having the most peculiar problem with Microsoft Office 2007 and samba shares. Users can open a share, create, edit and delete files/folders with no problem. But when a user opens a file on a samba share in any Office application, for example Word, and clicks 'Save' then a dialog box opens: "Access denied. Contact your administrator". This behavior is consistent on Solaris 9 and 10 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 systems. There is no such problem with 3.2.7 so for the time being I've rolled back to that version. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Bob Rohde

Turns out that Office2007 wants to use the SACL (security audit acl) feature on Windows servers and fails in the way you see if the remote server doesn't fail in *exactly* the right way. This will be fixed in 3.3.2, due out Thursday of this week. Sorry for the problem. Jeremy.
