[Samba] New files and directories

[Robert Adkins]

Hello,

	I have an annoying little issue. I am currently running  Samba 2.2.5-10   
as a Primary Domain Controller and have a number of shared drives with a   
 variety of differing users and user rights all over the place.

	In my smb.conf file, I have the following share:

	

	[emergpo]
        path = /share/purchasing/emergpo
        force directory mode = 0770
        create mode = 0770
        writeable = yes
        force create mode = 0770
        directory mode = 0770
        user = @emergpo
        force group = @emergpo
        valid users = @emergpo
        comment = For Emergency Purchase Orders
        wide links = no
        write list = @emergpo


	Now, from what I understand any new files that are created within this   
share should have the ownership be the following <username>:emergpo.   
Unfortunately, that is not happening, what is happening is that both the   
user and the group ownership bit are set to the creator of the file.   
Which is HIGHLY annoying since my phone is often inundated with calls   
asking why they can't access a file located on said drive.

	I do know that if I were to set the permissions of all files to be 0777   
then everyone with access to that drive will be able to do whatever they   
need to those files. Unfortunately, that is not what I wish to see in my   
Samba configuration.

	Is this something that would be "fixed" if I were to update to a newer   
release of Samba? I know that I should be updating to 2.2.7 to avoid the   
recent security issue. However, none of my users have the skills to even   
attempt simple hacks, let alone the slightly complex hack that is fixed   
with 2.2.7. I also have to many other things going on right this instant   
to test a 2.2.7 upgrade.

	Any pointers anyone has would be wonderful. Thanks for the assistance.
