[Samba] More on the archive bit saga

[Aaron Kincer]

Thanks to all that have helped so far.

I now have a test server running on Ubuntu 6.06 and Samba 3.0.22. I also 
configured ACL and user_xattr on the filesystem running the shares. But 
now I have very strange behavior that I hope someone has a clue about. 
User smith can open two files (foo.txt and faa.txt) with Notepad, 
Wordpad and Microsoft Word. The behavior for all three is different:

foo.txt

Notepad: Can open and modify the file. Correctly sets the archive bit.
Wordpad before Word mod: Can open and modify the file. Correctly sets 
the archive bit.
Wordpad after Word mod: Can open but cannot modify the file (access 
denied error). Cannot set the archive bit since access denied.
Word: Can open and modify the file. Does not correctly set the archive 
bit. Using word created an ACL where none existed before (ACL was 
enabled AFTER file was initially created)

faa.txt

Notepad: Can open and modify the file. Correctly sets the archive bit.
Wordpad: Can open and modify the file. Correctly sets the archive bit.
Word: Never used to modify.
