[Samba] Samba support

[kameshwar.r.kadiyala at census.gov]

HI
I am kameshwar Rao Kadiyala, Working for US Census. We are using Samba
extensively. I am Administrator of Version Control and have a small problem
using Samba. I will give details of my job and I want your help to fix some
problems.(not Samba related)

We have PVCS installed on  a Unix server(Sun Solaris) and each user has
Window / Window NT  client.

There is a requirement for some files from PVCS to be checked out to a
different server(Also Sun Solaris).

PVCS has provided a new feature of Web enabling, wherein a user can connect
to PVCS thru a browser  by means of a link( An applet is created , thru web
server user can access  the Unix server where PVCS is installed, without
actually logging into the Unix server).

We mapped other Unix servers thru Samba to the Window drives with some
accounts and when we select these drives when checking out, pvcs is able to
check out to these Unix servers (different Unix  server from the server
where PVCS is installed).

Everything works very fine till we noticed the checked out file attributes
are getting changed. The samba scripts is getting executed and due to which
these are getting changed(Sorry, correct me if I am wrong)

Is there any way to retain  the original file attributes and owner ?

Can somebody help me out.
