I have a strange problem I am hoping some one can help with, pc and linux
users all work fine accessing, modifying, adding and deleting files, but
anytime a mac user touches a folder or creates a new one, it gets restricted
to just their own use
This is a Debian 5 system with Samba 3.2.5, the mac's are all running OSX
10.5.x
Relevant share info
# read/write area on server (accessible to all users)
[mainshare]
browseable = yes
writable = yes
path = /srv/samba/mainshare
comment = All User Access
valid users = @users
force group = users
force create mode = 0660
force directory mode = 0771
Using any of the other mask or directory options in smb.conf has zero effect,
best I can tell by lots of testing, these get completely ignored and the
directory and file gets written with 755 permissions. This locks out the
windows, linux and other mac users :-(
I found someone else with a similar problem here

Before I fire up wireshark, anyone else experiencing this and how did you
solve it?
