It is supposed to be like that. It's been like that forever as far as I 
know. I don't know why it was working for you - is your samba from an OS 
package and it's possible they changed the perms?

(It's even worse on RHEL4 systems - there's a buggy SELinux policy that 
labels that directory so ntlm_auth can't access it!)
