Remember in Word and Excel when you write a file the following happens: 1.Office creates a new file 2. then deletes the old 3. then renames the new file to the old and after this rename the windows operating system detects this pattern and assigns the permissions and acl of the old file to the new file. Linux has no such odd file behavior so in the case of samba they had to emulate this. I am not sure what wine does.
