Hiya,

It's not just a Fedora bug it's a change in the way that Samba handles 
permissions.

If you check the release notes you'll find that instead of @"Domain 
Admins" for example, you now use a + and, in certain circumstances, the 
NT domain name. The example above would therefore go from @"Domain 
Admins" to +"DOMAIN\Domain Admins"  and a user e.g. fred goes from fred 
to DOMAIN\fred.

Substitute DOMAIN for your actual NT domain obviously but you should 
find this cures all the ills. I was caught out by this one so I make 
sure I always read the release notes before upgrading now. BTW, I think 
the change occured around version 3.0.8.

Cheers,

Jools
