hi,

I tested this with all samba versions from 3.5.0 to 3.6.3.

with versions <= 3.5.1 directory mask was applied ONLY on creating 
directories. since 3.5.2 something is different.

But, in the samba-releasenotes i cant find changes reguarding the 
"directory mask" . Also the manpages from the differnt versions are 
identical.



man smb.conf (samba 3.6.3):
directory mask:
This parameter is the octal modes which are used when converting DOS 
modes to UNIX modes when "CREATING" UNIX directories.
