[Samba] ACL bug

[Michael Gasch]

so,

i think i found an explanation:

touch relies on mode parameter of creat(2), which is by default 666

this explains the behaviour of recalculating the mask and setting user:: 
to rw-

anybody an idea how to change the default mode of 666 (kind of diabolic 
*gg) ????
