Hi,
Well, the behavior Matt stated using Mac OS X and Office is a little 
different. The bug - or let's call it incompatibility - I am able to 
reproduce does not touch the effective rights mask, all it does it put 
the original owner on the ACL, take the ownership of the file and NOT 
set the write bit (to put it in windows-speak: "mark the file write 
protected" ).

Sebastian, I thought of it too, that it might be related to that crazy 
way word / excel handles open files, but the thing that puzzles me is: 
if the file is deleted and newly created, why is the former owner placed 
on the ACL?

Since it is a file and not a directory, there is no default ACL, 
although there is a default ACL on the directory we're working in, I 
will look further in that direction, maybe it's related to the default 
ACL on the working dir.

I hope it was OK to post this into samba-technical, but I am convinced 
that this is not a user problem, and this is the right list for that. 
And BTW sorry for the annoying double-post.

Greetings,
Jan
