Hey there, this is about samba and not the underlying file permissions. If you look at "man 5 smb.conf" it explains how the unix file permissions interact with the samba permissions, but in a nutshell you can specify the user and group people access files as per share/globally aswell as forcing certain permission bits to be set/not set. The relevant options for you are probably:
create mask create mode directory mask directory mode force create mode force directory mode force group Hope it helps Niall Craigsc wrote: >Hiya all > >I need to have a directory /home/public to have >1770 permissions.
