[Samba] Different permissions displayed in "security" tab and"advanced" tab

[Dale Schroeder]

David,

Samba does not have the ability to change the permissions of directories 
on the security tab, and many times they will not be displayed either.  
As you have already discovered, permissions on directories are changed 
in Advanced.  The permissions of files can be manipulated on the 
security tab.
