[Samba] permissions keeping changing

[Bill Brunt]

I am using version 3.5.6 so I could use that but obviously don't want to negate it with an upgrade.

I'm thinking I must crazy to ask for "force directory security mode" parameter to come back?

If you're using 3.6.x or below, check out the "force security mode"
and "force directory security mode" parameters. As I said, these have been removed in 4.0.0.
