Dooh!
The problem was so stupid simple I did not see it. As we say here in
Germany "I did not see the wood due to all the trees".
Every user belonged to the group "staff" and this one had the group
"users". The configuration stated "force group = staff" and "force mode
= 0770". What I don't understand is why the user was able to create
files in the first place... *arg*


Cheers and thanks for the patience. I'll go and bang my head hard
against the next wall!
Nicki
