OK folks, I found a solution that works for the main part.
I got the clue from the samba mailing list and another very helpful and
resourceful fella.
In /etc/fstab, I simply edited the mount instructions for the samba shares from
smbfs to cifs. (man mount.cifs (note the dot)).
Then umount the volumes, mount -a and the files are now showing rights as
rwxrwSrwt; mount reports that these mounts are rw,mand,noexec,nosuid,nodev.
I have tested this linux to linux and linux to WinXP and all gives an error
message on trying to open a file another machine has open. The messages are
cryptic (.ods files are corrupt, shall we try to repair; odt files need you to
choose a different filter to open them)
Um ... nice :-\
If you're going to use cifs, and you're also using gnome / nautilus, you
might want to vote on the bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324561 ... which is about
nautilus not displaying cifs shares with other shares ( eg smbfs ) in
the treeview in the left-hand pane.
You're right though - cifs seems to be better than smbfs for us.
