Samba doesn't support permissions on Windows server?

[Jerry Krinock]

Hi,

After playing with a document on a Windows server using the built-in samba
in OS 10.2.5, and doing the same using a wintel computer, I have concluded
the following:

(1) Finder/samba has no way to set or get the privileges on the Windows
server.

(2) When using the Finder's Get Info to view Ownership & Permissions of a
document on a Windows server, it ALWAYS says:
   Owner jk (me) Read & Write
   Group wheel Read only
   Others Read only
regardless of what are the document's actual permissions.

(3) Whenever I write a document using Finder/samba to a Windows server, it
will always be written as "inherit permissions from parent".

Does anyone know if this is true?  I can't find any confirmation in the
Apple Knowledge Base.

Also, I still have a license for DAVE I haven't used since Jaguar seemed to
make it unnecessary.  Does DAVE support Windows permissions?
