I'm trying to understand how file permissions are handled by smbmount.
I've setuid root both smbmnt and smbumount, so that regular users can
mount and unmount samba shares. Pertinent options in /etc/fstab are
users,rw,fmask=770
Rights are as follows:
r-- r-- r-- :file permissions on the Samba server
rwx rwx --- :fmask specified in /etc/fstab
rwx r-x r-x :root user's umask
rwx rwx r-x :regular users' umask
drwx r-x r-x :permissions on mount point before mount
drwx rwx --- :permissions on mount point after mount
r-x r-x --- :mounted file permissions
I would like to understand why I end up with 550 on the mounted files,
instead of 440 (which are the file permissions on the server) or 770
(which are the rights specified by the fmask option).
