Hello,

I`m experiencing major problems after having migrated from Novell to SLES 9.

My server configuration:
- SLES 9.0, running on an Intel XEON machine
- Samba 3.0.14a, standard bin package with ACL support
- XFS as filesystem, with ACL support
- Users are members of max. 40 Groups

My client configuration:
- running Windows 98 up to Windows XP SP2, everything included
- Office 97 up to 2003

The problem itself:
Everything is working fine, except for one thing:
After having copied all the files from Novell to SLES and setting all the
permissions using a Windows XP client, everything is fine.
But as soon as an Office user changes one of the files, the file permissions
are changed, and the ACL flags are lost.

It happens only if the users are creating new or saving previously created
Office documents. And only with Office docs, meaning XLS and DOC and PPT and
so on files.

As soon as the user creates a file using notepad or something similar, the
problem does not appear.

If the user copies one of the files with wrong permissions, the permissions
of the copied file are set right.

So it is obviously a problem concerning Office and samba, but I don't have a
clue where to start.

Here's my smb.conf:
