I had a user modify his profile in his home directory with WordPad via Samba
2.0.6 and saved the changes. Samba changed the file permissions of the
.profile to 740. (Not even the user's umask setting) What parameters can I
look into to force Samba to retain existing file permissions? I saw
something related to creating new files and forcing perms etc.. but nothing
to this effect. I am running Samba 2.0.6 on Solaris 2.6. The client station
was a Win98 box.
One more thing, even though I set "hide dot files = yes" users can
still see
'dot files' if they change the windoze folder view settings. Can this be
prevented within Samba somehow?
Here is my homes share def:
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
write list = @admgroup
read list = @usergroup
hide dot files = yes
follow symlinks = no
(This particulair user is in the admgroup group)
Thanks greatly,
Chuck
