I have recently started migrating a Win2k fileserver to a Samba 3.0.2a server. Running in full ADS mode, with winbind enabled for authentication against our Win2k PDC. I am also running as much of the ACL support as I can. The problem I am encountering involves excel documents. The documents are migrated from the Win2k server, to the Samba server, and are retaining all of the ACL's during the move. The problem is, if somebody opens the excel document from a windows client (excel 2000), and then saves it, the file is saved (or re-written actually) with changed permissions. The owner is changed to the person who modified the document, which is ok, but the permissons are changed to "470" on the file, and shows up in windows as Read Only to everybody, even if they are part of an ACL that has RWX. If the owner removes the Read Only checkbox in windows, or, if I modify the permissions for the owner to RWX in linux, the file will be "fixed" permanently, even after subsequent edits / changes of owner. It doesn't happen to newly created excel documents, only to the migrated ones. Once the migrated file is "fixed" the problem never comes up again on that file. Can anybody think of whats happening here, or suggest anything I can do about it? I have a few hundred-thousand excel documents to move, so fixing this manually is not an option.
