we set up a samba file server in our office and everything seems to be fine until one day. The server holds some MS Excel files on the server for everyone to access, all stations are either Windows XP or Windows 7

One windows station in particular keeps changing the attributes of only one file and sets a red only attribute to it. I searched all over the internet and I don't know what to do to fix this problem.

My Samba config is as follows:

#======================= Global Settings =======================

[global]
    workgroup = COTTONTEXDOM
    netbios name = grafubu
    server string = %h server (Server)
;   wins support = no

    dns proxy = no
;       name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast
    usershare allow guests = yes

    log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
    max log size = 1000

    syslog = 0
    panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d

    security = share

;   pam password change = no

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
