I have a samba share that has the following permissions:

         force create mode = 0664
         directory create mask = 0775
         force directory mode = 0764

1.) Does this means DOS/windows files will be created as rwxrwxr-x  per
"create mask" or rw-rw-r-- per "force create mode"?

a mask is a "removal" of bit in the permission, so you get that a bit wrong :-)

say you have permissions of 777 which in binary is 111-111-111 and a mask of 022 which is 000-010-010 you have to do the following to get the final permissions:
    111-111-111
-   000-010-010
=   111-101-101

which is 755

N.


2.) Do I need both create mask&  force create mode or is one overkill?
3.) Is "directory create mask" an unknown option?
4.) Does force directory mode mean all dos/windows directories created will
be drwxrw-r--?
5.) I have a basic .txt file I created on my windows desktop by
right-clicking>new>text document. I copy that file over to the share in
question&  it gets the following permission: -rwxr--r-- where is it getting
that permission from as I'm expecting it to have 0775 or 0664 permisions&
neither is coming over.

Please help! Thanks in advance!
