Could you elaborate on that?
Samba (being a clone of MS Networking) has no concept of user-group-other
permissions. Sure you can set it to enforce a certain set of permissions,
but it is far from what is available in Unix.
Also don't forget that the origianl post was with regards to making
backups using either samba or NFS. For example, what would permissions of
"/tmp" be after you backup and restore via samba?
