i think force security mode = 777 in the share will fix this error.

I have not been able to resolve this problem, but I need to have default
ACLs, so, I've croned a script to "fix" the permissions. I run this every 15
minutes and usually people don't notice it. When they call me, I ask them to
wait until after the script runs again. I would really like to see Office
fixed for this issue. Another weird thing is that it seems that for us,
after the second person edits the file and saves it, the problem really
doesn't show up again, at least in our testing.
Here is my scripts:
# fixfiles.sh
#! /bin/bash
/root/filecheck.sh | awk '{ print "\42"$0"\42" }' | xargs --no-run-if-empty
chmod -v u+w
----------------
# filecheck.sh
#! /bin/bash
/usr/bin/find /ls/groups/ -perm -u+r ! -perm /u+w -printf "%p\n"
It is pretty quick on our files system and only changes the files that are
wrong.

Hello
Well I have checked I there is no default ACL on the considered files

Frank,
Another thing worth checking is default acl's. If default acl's exist,
they can override the posix permissions. Run getfacl on the directory/file
in question to see if there are any listings with "default" in them.
The setting of default acl's has caused word/excel/access read-only
problems for me more than once.

Since we started our new Samba + LDAP backend server yesterday
some (not all) PC we have a problem with Word and Excel files
that are marked "read-only" when users are trying to open
them from their Samba network shares.
This happen ONLY for *.doc and *.xls files , if we open
and save a *.html file with Word it works ...
Any info/help greatly appreciated.
Thank you
This probably is due to the fact that when Office saves a file it
creates a new file it creates a temp file then deletes the old file
then renames the temp file to the same name as the old file and in
this case the os magically sets the permissions of the renamed temp
file to what the old file had. The problem is that Linux does not have
this weird filesystem behavior built in so you have to emulate this
with samba. I believe some versons of samba required a create mask of
2777 to get this to work. BTW, this is discussed many times in the
archives.
