Hi all,
I have a permissions problem with a samba share which I really
can't fathom out. I'm trying to create a fully group writable share.
Easy or so I thought.
As you can see from my config I am trying all the options to set files
group writable, however when I create a file from the client I'm always
getting the
mode 0644. Does anyone have a clue why? Thanks!
client:
//database.pricetrak.com/spendtrak /home/spendtrak cifs
username=webserver,password=twonkerlet,uid=apache,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770
0 0
server:
[spendtrak]
comment = Spendtrak Files
path = /home/spendtrak
browseable = no
writable = yes
printable = no
valid users = +spendtrak
force group = spendtrak
create mode = 0660
create mask = 0660
force create mode = 0660
directory mode = 0770

I can't fathom it out.
