Hello all, I have made a share that I was hopping would make it so that users using Microsoft word would make any new doc made by a user rwx for the owner of the file and for go, it would be no read, write, execute. Here is the share from the smb.conf: [mydocs] Comment = Microsoft Office documents directory path = /usr/data/mydocs public = no valid users = @user writeable = yes write list = @user create mask = 0700 force create mode = 0700 Can some one tell me when i make some test files they (the permissions) look like this: rwxrw-r-- 1 mrsmith user 19968 Oct 8 23:46 test2.doc* -rwxrw-r-- 1 lnb user 19456 Oct 8 23:46 test25.doc* -rwxrw-r-- 1 lnb user 19456 Oct 8 23:31 test3.doc* -rwxrw-r-- 1 lnb user 19456 Oct 8 23:51 test30.doc* Thank you, Lanny
