The following is a quote from the smb.conf man page

map archive (S)

	This controls whether the DOS archive attribute should
	be mapped to the UNIX owner execute bit.  The DOS
	archive bit is set when a file has been modified since
	its last backup.  One motivation for this option it to
	keep Samba/your PC from making any file it touches from
	becoming executable under UNIX.  This can be quite
	annoying for shared source code, documents, etc...

	Note that this requires the "create mask" parameter to
	be set such that owner execute bit is not masked out
	(i.e. it must include 100). See the parameter "create
	mask" for details.

	Default:
		map archive = yes

	Example:
		map archive = no

map hidden (S)

	This controls whether DOS style hidden files should be
	mapped to the UNIX world execute bit.

	Note that this requires the "create mask" to be set
	such that the world execute bit is not masked out (i.e.
	it must include 001). See the parameter "create mask"
	for details.

	Default:
		map hidden = no

	Example:
		map hidden = yes

map system (S)

	This controls whether DOS style system files should be
	mapped to the UNIX group execute bit.
	
	Note that this requires the "create mask" to be set
	such that the group execute bit is not masked out (i.e.
	it must include 010). See the parameter "create mask"
	for details.

	Default:
		map system = no

	Example:
		map system = yes
