Package: samba Version: 2:3.2.5-4lenny2 Severity: normal After upgrading to lenny (from etch) it seems that the "force create mode" option no longer works. However, if I downgrade samba to 3.0.24-6etch10 the option works as it should. Here's an example:
nikos...@kubuntubox:~$ touch testfile; chmod 600 testfile nikos...@kubuntubox:~$ mv testfile /mnt/smb/archives/ teh-server:~# ls -l /mnt/md1/archives/testfile -rw------- 1 samba samba 0 2009-04-23 11:23 /mnt/md1/archives/testfile When using the older version of samba, the permissions of that file would have been -rw-rw-r-- which is consistent with what I have in my config file.
