File Permissions Keep Changing

in my home directory, nightly, the file permissions change...all my executables are no longer executable for the user..

EXAMPLE:

1690 -rw-r-xr-x 1 madcow users 1728284 2008-03-05 10:59 boinc
212 -rw-r-xr-x 1 madcow users 216680 2008-03-05 10:59 boinc_cmd
6142 -rw-r-xr-x 1 madcow users 6282528 2008-03-05 10:59 boincmgr


They used to be -rwxr-x-r-x

This happens to ALL my executable files in my home directory..they all default back to -rw-

Any suggestions? Is there a security cron changing these permissions?

Not sure, its nothing I've ever seen, but there is permissions in etc which I believe will be used with SuSEconfig.

Though unsure about cron have you had a look to see if SuSEconfig is being run in any of the cron jobs under /etc

After much thought, I think its samba....looking closely at it now..


I can't find anything in the cron jobs doing it...

I would love to help but no little about samba.

The little I know I guess it make sense is a few samba knowledgeable people around hopefully they can enlighten you.

Well, the easy way to test that theory would be to unshare the homes, reboot and see if it makes any odds.
