I few weeks back my server started having a problem where all shares are now readonly. AFAIK nothing has changed except a 'yum update' which was probably around the same time. Everyone still has the shares on their Win7 PC's and can see the contents. However, if they try to open a file it opens read only. If the try to create a new file (e.g. right click -> New -> Text Document) it says that they don't have permission. I am not seeing anything meaningful in the log files. Can anyone give me a clue how to fix this, or at least how to collect getting debug info? SELinux has been disabled to eliminate that.
