I have been noticing an issue with file permissions and curious as to your thoughts on this. 
In the one directory the files started as... 
...a 777 file was users[100] and root...now they are gc[1002] and fred_smith [1005], but the permissions changed to 764. I have a mask as 775, but this does not seem to be the case??? 
Here is my smb.conf...curious as to what I may have wrong on this???
