Hrmm, maybe I have it configured wrong, or I simple don't understand a
condition of this working:
[log]
path = /log
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
require valid-user
inherit permissions = yes
[root@shield /log]# pwd
/log
I created the folder and chmod 777 folder1/
drwxrwxrwx 3 logger logger 4096 May 21 13:50 .
drwxr-xr-x 33 root root 4096 Mar 29 10:33 ..
drwxrwxrwx 2 ryanb mail 4096 May 21 13:51 folder1
I rolled over to the windows machine and created a new text file in
/log/folder1/
drwxrwxrwx 2 ryanb mail 4096 May 21 13:51 .
drwxrwxrwx 3 logger logger 4096 May 21 13:50 ..
-rwxr--r-- 1 ryanb mail 0 May 21 13:51 New Text
Document.txt
I made sure I restarted smbd and nmbd after I changed smb.conf. I'm using
version 2.2.3a if that means anything. Thanks a bunch for all the help.
Regards,
Ryan

>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

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. Thanks again for the
help!
