samba - Feb 2008 - Wrong perms on new files/dirs using smbmount

Greetings-

I am working through coming up with a Linux client integration to Samba
PDC's.

I mount several shares with this sort of syntax:
/bin/mount -t cifs -o
credentials=/home/userid/.smbcredentials,uid=userid,gid=userid,dmask=0777,fmask=0666
//ldslnx01/data /mnt/ldslnx01/data/

However when I create new files/dirs on the Samba share from the Linux
workstation, the perms are not 0666/0777 as I have specified.

Historically I set those perms on the share, and that has always worked with
Windows clients.

I added that bit to the mount command, but it made no difference.

I believe I end up with 0755/0644, but do not hold me to that as I have simply
verified it is not correct and that is all the checking I have done.

Thanks!

  I think you'll find that is your default umask (more specifically, 
your umask is 022, i.e., (7-0)(7-2)(7-2)=755)

It must be overriding.  I'm not sure why this would be, though.  Could 
it be that '/' is mounted with an explicit permission setting that is 
shadowing your mount settings?

I do not think so, but have a look. This share happens to be on the /srv
partition.
/dev/sda1       /               xfs     defaults        0       1
/dev/sda9       /srv            xfs     defaults        0       2

Subject line is misleading: smbmount != cifs.

I get the idea from man smbmount that smbmount is merely a wrapper invoking
mount -t cifs.

Would you expect different results if I were using the smbmount binary instead?
If so, I would gladly test that method.

My error. Yes, I meant smbmount and not smbclient.

Very well then, I will stick with my current syntax.
