samba - Nov 2000 - Problem with "create mode" and rights

Hi!

I have installed "Samba 2.0.5a" on a Linux system with
Kernel 2.2.10 .

In the smb.conf, the security level is set to "user".
Nearly all works fine...but when i create a file on
the share-directory with the "create mode = 774" the
rights of this file have only "-rw-rw-r--".

So why isn't the permisson of the file 774, as i had
defined it with the "create mode"?
 
Thanks

"create mode" sets the maximun bits you can use.
"force create mode" sets the bits to force on the created files.

So use
create mode = 774
force create mode = 774

"create mode" ist more like an "inverted umask". The x-Bits
(111) are
used to emulate archive, system and hidden semantics from DOSsy 
filesystems (search the man page for smb.conf(5) for "map archiv" 
(100), "map hidden" (001), "map system" (010) for more
information).

The default is "map archive = yes", so you seem to have fiddled around
with it, otherwise you would have ended with 764 instead of 664.

I would suggest "create mode = 775" and all the "map" stuff
set to
"yes" under normal circumstances.

If you have good reason to demand 774 you should set the "map" stuff 
to no and an additional "force create mode = 0755". I'm not sure
if
this one is already available in 2.0.5
