Hi,
jep, this is all normal.
Create mask is a mask for *file* creation, it masks out the bits
not specified. So setting it to 770 forces your *files* to get
never more rights then rwxrwx--- .
What you want is the line

force create mode 770

to force the mode of your *files* to 0770 at least.
have a look at smb.conf manpage for the available options for
directorys.

Hello,

In smb.conf, where I share a folder, i put the command :

create mask = 770 which normally should give rwx permissions to the owner and the group of the file or subfolder creator.However, when I create a folder in this shared folder from a WinXP station, the permissions are rwxr-xr-x and when I create a file, the permissions
are rwxrw----.
Does anyone understand ?


Thanks for any help,

Jean
