Hi, when I create a file through a windows machine on a samba home share on my linux box, it defaults to -rwxr-----. I don't want any created files to have executable permission by default. How can I make it have 640 permissions by default for any new file created? I tried putting 'create mask = 640' under [homes] in smb.conf, but that didn't work. For example, lets say I have a share \\Steve\username which is my user directory on my Linux box. When I access this share through my Windows XP machine, it always sets 740 permissions for all newly created files. I want the default permission for new files to be 640. How would I do this? Thanks in advance. Steve
