Hi people,

Very strange samba issue going on at the office here on an Ubuntu hardy server running Samba 3.0.28a. We have it on a Win2K3 domain as a NAS, and periodically it will change the user/group permissions to something random rather than the user/group access we want it to.

We fix this by:

Leaving the domain
Joining the domain
chown'ing the files to 'administrator'
chmod'ing group access to the appropriate entry


There is a cron job set to do the ch'ing we need, but obviously this is a quick workaround. Is there any ideas on how to fix this permanently?

Thanks in advance
