I have a share on a Windows 7 machine that acts as a server. We have several people on Macs that need to create/modify files on this machine. When one of these people creates a file on the share using a code editor, or updates a file using an SVN client (Versions) the file acquires a Windows account with a name like this:

S-1-5-88-3-33216

This account has no permissions and seems to mess with all the other permissions on the file. The end result is that IIS can't serve up the file until I remove this account manually from the file permissions.

Has anyone seen this before?

That SID is interesting. It's used by Windows for UNIX translation, and that particular one is what stores the UNIX mode. The smbfs drivers for Apple have this in a comment too. The 33216 number translates to the Mode of the file, or should since 33216 doesn't translate to a correct POSIX mode.

You can get around this by removing "Full Control" for "Everyone" at the share level (and possibly the NTFS level) and changing it to "Modify".
