Samba digest 2532 / Problem with "force create mode" et. al.
Hi, Frankly spoken you have a real RTFM problem. The manual pages for smb.conf say that "create mask" and "create mode" are equal. It also says that there is only a "force XXXX mode" (where XXXX is either create or directory). So a replacement of mask with mode will do the thing. The other mistake is that there is no "force create group" parameter. The correct name of this parameter is "force group". So another change to your smb.conf is needed.

I was making the mistake of viewing the O'Reilly "Using Samba" book on these parameters, and they clearly state that, like "create mask|mode", "force create mask|mode" are equivalent, when they are not. I also had some underlying FS ownerhip and permissions issues which were complicating things a bit. I think I'm over the hump, and want to thank those of you who helped me get it right. -- Ryan Waldron ||| http://www.erebor.com ||| rew@erebor.com "The web goes ever, ever on, down from the site where it began..."
