Precisely. This is something that isn't new and has been in Samba a long time. I don't think it's a critical bug that needs urgent code changes - unlike the ACL issues which were bugs in new functionality.
Alright, so there is a design issue in samba that has been there for a long time, and as there a solutions (EAs) no need to do anything about it. Fine, go ahead and mark the bug as wontfix. But please also put somewhere in the docs the suggestion to use "dos filemode" and "store dos attributes" when using ACLs. Because I'm sure more people will be hit by this when using them. Have there been ACLs in Samba 2.x? don't think so, so this problem never really showed up, but with ACLs you may come up with the idea to remove all rights from every file and directory and manage everything with ACLs, and that won't work.
