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.
