|
| A previous admin here left this commented section:
|
|   #[profiles]
|   #  path = /var/lib/samba/profiles # path = /netapp/profiles ???
|   #  read only = no
|   #  create mask = 0600
|   #  directory mask = 0700
|
| So, is this the sytax for masks?
| Do I add "create mask = 0744" -OR- "force create mask = 0744"?
| Where do I put it? Anywhere in smb.conf?
|
| Should the mask be 0077? (it's a mask, not chown

the 'create mask' is a bitwise logical AND with the
requested permissions.  The force create mode is a bitwise
logical OR.
