The system: Samba 2.0.6 on RedHat 6.2 (intel), using RedHat's 2.0.6-9 samba RPM. The problem: I have set up the following share: [intraweb] comment = Intranet Website path = /project/intranet/web/html/intranet public = yes writable = yes printable = no create mask = 0775 force directory mode = 2775 Despite the presence of the "force directory mode" entry, all subfolders created in this share have a mode of 0775. My perusal of the documentation indicates that 2775 is a perfectly legal argument to "force directory mode", and indeed a quick search of google turns up dozens of example config files using exactly that value. Am I missing something obvious here? -n ------------------------------------------------------------<memory@blank.org> Indeed, to many of us homefolks, the single greatest irony of the Clinton presidency has been the export of bare-knuckle, eye-gouging Arkansas political mud-rassling to an unexpectedly gullible national press corps.
