I am at Samba 2.2.4 on Solaris 8 using Win2000 clients. The system default umask is 022 in /etc/profile and I have set user umask to 002 in .profile. Does Samba read/interpret either of these? All other setting are default but I have set global permissions to;
create mask = 0664 force create mode = 0664 directory mask = 0775 force directory mode = 0775 and 'read = no' on the specific shares. It appears I am not getting the correct permissions. A newly created directory will have 777 in one share and 775 in another. A newly created file will have 777 in one share and 664 in another. I cannot find any consistency in setting these permissions. I have also se those parameter on specific share with the same result. I understand that 'create mask' is a ADD while 'force create mode' is an OR in setting permissions but it doesn't appear to be doing this, at least not consistently. At one point I thought it was ignoring Samba and UNIX and only getting permissions from the parent directory but this isn't the case in the above example. I log in/out of client for each test. What is going on? Is this a problem with my install or with V2.2.4? Any help would be appreciated. - Graeme -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
