Greetings, everyone. I've got a strange little problem happening with file creation on one of my Samba servers here. It's 100% repeatable, but makes absolutely no sense to me. I've asked this on the RedHat list, but got no response, so I thought I'd ask the good people of this list. Here's the situation.
My Marketing department has a scanner attatched to a WinNT4 box that they do all of their image scanning through. They scan the image and save the file locally on the scanner machine. They then open the file on their own machines from the scanner box, make changes in Photoshop, and save the file. Here's the weird part. If they save the file directly to the Samba share, permissions are set to 006. However, if they save the file to their desktops first, *then* copy it to the Samba share, perms are set to 766, as shown below. -rwxrw-rw- 1 tracy Market 454264 Feb 18 15:44 svp5.tif -------rw- 1 tracy Market 971432 Feb 18 11:24 28034 copy.tif The Samba machine is RH7.1, running Samba 2.0.10-2. In the smb.conf I have set 'create mode' and 'directory mode' to 776. What am I missing here? Thanks in advance for any help. Wayne
