So... forgive me, I'm still new at using Samba. Any idea why it isn't working with the configuration described below? If I try to modify perms on a file that I don't own from the Security Tab, I get a permission denied dialog as expected. But when I actually own the file and try to change perms, for example to give "Everyone" write access to it, the second I click the Apply button, all my changes simply revert to whatever they were before I changed anything. If I add "nt acl support = no" to the config, then the Security tab disappears on the Windows client.
