[Samba] Novice question

Glen,

Add:

  force create mode = 0777
  force directory mode = 0777

to the config file. That is a sure 
way to accomplish your goal.
 
You could change the default 
umask for bash in "/etc/bashrc", 
but this may or may not affect 
the default umask of Samba 
created files. You could try it 
though. :-/

Hi,
New to Samba & this list, so please forgive if I make a faux pas.
I've got a Redhat 7.3 box with Samba, & 2 Win stations, called "ws1" &
"ws2".
When either station creates files on the server, all the files get created
with
permissions of  rw-r--r-- (644).  How do I get them created with 777?
ws1 & ws2 are both set up as entries in the /etc/passwd file & in the
samba password file, with "umask 000" in their respective
.bash_profile's.
root user also has umask 000.  The smb.conf attempts are shown below:

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = yes
   public = yes
   writable = yes
   create mode = 0777
;   valid users = %S
   directory mode = 0777
   read only = no
# If you want users samba doesn't recognize to be mapped to a guest user
; map to guest = bad user

Thanks for any help, & I'll go ahead & say "Duh!" right now.
Glen
