>From smb.conf.5.htm: inherit permissions (S) The permissions on new files and directories are normally governed by create mask, directory mask, force create mode and force directory mode but the boolean inherit permissions parameter overrides this.
New directories inherit the mode of the parent directory, including bits such as setgid. New files inherit their read/write bits from the parent directory. Their execute bits continue to be determined by map archive , map hidden and map system as usual. Note that the setuid bit is never set via inheritance (the code explicitly prohibits this). This can be particularly useful on large systems with many users, perhaps several thousand, to allow a single [homes] share to be used flexibly by each user. See also create mask , directory mask, force create mode and force directory mode . Default: inherit permissions = no HTH Josh -----Original Message----- From: Ryan J Betz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 12:27 PM To: James Nord Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Samba] Controlling share create permissions I have looked around on google for information on inherit permissions and come up mostly dry. I can't find it in 'man smb.conf' either. Am I looking in the wrong places? I would assume that if you set inherit permissions = yes then files created in the share would inherit the permissions of the parent directory, which is what I was looking for.
