Problem; We need to modify access rights on the Unix server so that when file(s) are created in a directory the file(s) get the group (rw-) access privileges. When creating files in Unix the files do receive the group (rw-) access rights. However, files created on a PC with WINDOWS 95 within the same directory will not receive the group (rw-) access rights. We have added the following to the smb.conf file: [newsletter] comment = newsletter path = /some/newsletter valid users = @staff @editors read only = yes write list = @editors Any assistance in resolving this matter, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, John Fleming GIS Spec/Sys. Admin. New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Johnf@gis.dep.state.nj.us

I've used "create mask" to solve this issue On Fri, 29 Jan 1999, John Fleming wrote:> Problem; > > We need to modify access rights on the Unix server so that when file(s) are > created in a directory the file(s) get the group (rw-) access privileges. > When creating files in Unix the files do receive the group (rw-) access > rights.
