[Samba] PDF * powerpoint files need the x bit set under linux

[keith_allen at safeway.co.uk]

We are trying to migrate to samba from NT4 data servers, We don't currently
allow users the execute permission on data drives, so I have setup data
drives with a creat mask of 0660 which seems ok. The problem I'm having it
that both powerpoint and PDF files seem to need the 'x' bit set before users
can edit or open the files. Has anybody else had this problem? and if so
could you please tell me what you did to resolve it.
 
Thanks very much 
 
samba version 2.2.8a on susi linux v8
