[clug] Problems with Samba and Win2000

[jimadiva]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the quick response.  I fiddled a bit with the "Create" settings
and can easily see the difference in settings and permissions whenever I
create a file on an XP or Vista system.  The problem only appears when I try
to create a file from the Win2000 system.

I changed my smb.conf shares to look like this....

[server]
       comment = Main Server Directory
       path = /server
       public = yes
       writeable = yes
       printable = no
       create mode = 0775
       oplocks = False
       level2 oplocks = False


Notice I changed "mask" to "mode" and the value is now 0775.  Saving a file
on the Linux system from Windows XP and Vista generates a file with the
following permissions....

-wrxrw-rw-

Saving a file on the Linux system from Win2000 generates a file with the
following permissions...

----------

Why would it work so well with the WinXP and Vista files and be totally
screwed with the Win2000 files?  What am I missing here?
