So... forgive me, I'm still new at using Samba. Any idea why it isn't 
working with the configuration described below?  If I try to modify 
perms on a file that I don't own from the Security Tab, I get a 
permission denied dialog as expected. But when I actually own the file 
and try to change perms, for example to give "Everyone" write access to 
it, the second I click the Apply button, all my changes simply revert to 
whatever they were before I changed anything. If I add "nt acl support = 
no" to the config, then the Security tab disappears on the Windows client.

RedHat 7.2 with RedHat kernel 2.4.9-34
Samba 2.2.5 installed from samba-latest.tar.gz
