Not sure exactly. Maybe because somebody issued:

  /etc/init.d/smb reload

msec is Mandrake SECurity. It is basically a set of scripts to automate
some tidious security-related tasks (e.g: mainain permitions and
ownerships on certain files and directories, monitor SUID files, monitor
world- and grou-writable files etc.).

IIRC it has a weekly (daily?) script that goes over permissions and
ownerships of certain files and directories and sets them according to
some list.

IIRC the permissions file is /etc/seciruty/msec/perms.4 (if your "security
level" is '4')
