	PowerPoint and most other PC apps renames the
	input file to .bak and creates a new file to
	put the edited data into.

	You'll need to have the create mode(s) set to 700
	for this share to keep the "new" files from being
	readable/editable by member of the group.

	Mine are 750, as I don't mind related
	folks reading my files...
