[Samba] fileserver permissions: 0750 vs 0740

[Patrick Goetz]

With 0740 permissions on directories, group users won't be able to see 
files in the directory. With regard to files, if users can't copy 
executables to the shared directory (which they can't if w permission is 
missing), I'm not sure this is a major concern, since they can run 
appropriately permissioned system executables from any where.
