Hi, I have a file server with samba. I regularly open text files from this server directly for editing. The *create* mask in samba is set to group-writable. If I open a non-group-writable file on this share in e.g. Notepad, and save over it, then the file permissions stay as before, as expected.
However, if I save over the file with PSPad, then the group-writable bit gets set, which I can't account to anything but the samba create mask - especially given that on another share where this mask is non-group-writable, the bit isn't get set. This propted me to think that PSPad creates an entirely new file on save, and deletes the old one - this would explain why the permissions set for file creation get applied. But the fact that the inode number stays the same all the time makes me uncertain about this. The essence is, what does PSPad do which could result in this behaviour - and is there a way to disable it? thx -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,40396,40396> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
