It seems that there is a regression bug in the current version corresponding to bug 2346. The symptoms are exactly same as described in the old bug. The error doesn't occure with the formerly used version 3.0.10. Environment: OS: Solaris 8 and 9 Filesystem: ufs and vxfs (Veritas fs) with extended acls Samba: 3.0.20 Client: Windows 2000 Application: MS Excel 2003 (all other files seems to be ok)
XFS with extended acls has the same problem with excel files. Environment: OS: SuSE 9.3 Filesystem: xfs with extended acls Samba: 3.0.20 Client: Windows 2000 / XP Application: MS Excel 2003 (all other files seems to be ok)
please see the 'map read only' parameter in 3.0.21a. That should address this.
