[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#833869: samba: Samba file permissions and "unix extensions = yes"

[folkert]

Package: samba
Version: 2:4.2.10+dfsg-0+deb8u3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I found out a user put a file on the server and another user from the same group 
not beeing able to edit it. Both users using a debian stable client.

When putting "unix extensions = no" in smb.conf this was solved. yes was default.
I would have expected the lines "create mask" and "force create mode" to rule
what is happening since copying a file from my desktop to the server creates a 
new file on that server. If "create mask" and "force create mode" don't rule the
world I would have expected a small explanation in the man-page of smb.conf

My personal problem seems solved by this setting but I hope this helps.

Regards, Folkert
