The first thing that comes to mind is that the directory mask setting should
not be 776 but 775 and the file create mask should be 664, not 776.
Here is what the lengthy documentation of "man smb.conf" states: the "force
create mask" should solve your problem. Also note at the end of the "create
mask" documentation that Windows mode also enter in account. I would bet that
in this case, the software is the one choosing the file permissions.
create mask (S)
A synonym for this parameter is create mode .
When a file is created, the necessary permissions
are calculated according to the mapping from DOS
modes to UNIX permissions, and the resulting UNIX
mode is then bit-wise 'AND'ed with this parameter.
This parameter may be thought of as a bit-wise MASK
for the UNIX modes of a file. Any bit not set here
will be removed from the modes set on a file when
it is created.
The default value of this parameter removes the
'group' and 'other' write and execute bits from the
UNIX modes.
Following this Samba will bit-wise 'OR' the UNIX
mode created from this parameter with the value of
the force create mode parameter which is set to 000
by default.
This parameter does not affect directory modes. See
the parameter directory mode for details.
See also the force create mode parameter for forc�
ing particular mode bits to be set on created
files. See also the directory mode parameter for
masking mode bits on created directories. See also
the inherit permissions parameter.
Note that this parameter does not apply to permis�
sions set by Windows NT/2000 ACL editors. If the
administrator wishes to enforce a mask on access
control lists also, they need to set the security
mask.
Default: create mask = 0744
Example: create mask = 0775
force create mode (S)
This parameter specifies a set of UNIX mode bit
permissions that will always be set on a file cre�
ated by Samba. This is done by bitwise 'OR'ing
these bits onto the mode bits of a file that is
being created or having its permissions changed.
The default for this parameter is (in octal) 000.
The modes in this parameter are bitwise 'OR'ed onto
the file mode after the mask set in the create mask
parameter is applied.
Note that by default this parameter does not apply
to permissions set by Windows NT/2000 ACL editors.
If the administrator wishes to enforce this mask on
access control lists also, they need to set the
restrict acl with mask to true.
See also the parameter create mask for details on
masking mode bits on files.
See also the inherit permissions parameter.
Default: force create mode = 000
Example: force create mode = 0755
would force all created files to have read and exe�
cute permissions set for 'group' and 'other' as
well as the read/write/execute bits set for the
'user'.
force directory mode (S)
Let me know if this helped.
Thanks.
