I hope I did not miss something obvious, but I am having some file permission issues. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server. I have some directories served up by Samba. I force a group name to be used for all files created on these directories to which all users belong.
In one directory I need to force users to save files with 770 permission for draft documents so that other users can work on them When finally ready to publish the document, one of the users will save a copy with the permissions set to 550 to maintain an archive of the file at that point in time. My problem is if I use "create mode = 770", WinXP users can only manage a 760 permission setting,. That will not allow someone else in the group to set the file to readonly from WinXP though. If I use "force create mode = 770" I cannot set the file to readonly from the WinXP client as it will always be forced to be editable.
