Hello

When I copy a c executable from a Samba server to a Samba client, it has normal -rwxr-xr-x permissions on the server but arrives at the client with permissions like this: -rwxr--r--. The ability of "group" and "world" to execute has been removed. Furthermore, I can't seem to restore it.

However if I compress (e.g. tar-gz) at the server end and uncompress on the client, integrity is preserved.

Is this normal? Is there a configuration in smb.conf that prevents this corruption? Can you explain this to me please?

Thanks
