Hi, I'm Samba is a new thing for me and I hope my question will make some sense! I have created several samba shares listed in my smb.conf file and have the option "create mode = 0660" set. This is fine most of the time, however sometimes certain users create files (for web pages) that they want to be world-readable. How can I keep my default setting at 660, but have some files set to world-readable when they are created? Is there an option that could override the default for certain users is they entered it in when they saved the file? Should I be trying something else? I would appreciate any suggestions that anyone had. thank you, Rob
Hi Rob, Maybe you would like to try out a Filesystem and Samba with ACL support. XFS will work, as well as EXT2 on linux with ACL patches applied.

Easiest way to get XFS ? Find a copy of Mandrake 8.2 (lots of cover disks have been featuring it in the UK) and select XFS as the filesystem. Compile Samba and you are up and running. Probably want to grab the ACL utils from acl.bestbits.at as well. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Stewart [mailto:jstewart@rtl.org] Sent: 13 June 2002 13:17 To: Rob Buhler; samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: [Samba] altering the "create mode" for samba shares Hi Rob, Maybe you would like to try out a Filesystem and Samba with ACL support.
