I have users that want to share an access database that is on a drive mounted via samba from a Solaris 8 machine. I thought that samba used the permissions on the user itself so I set the umask for the user to 000 so that everyone would be able to use the file. The file is still being saved as if the umask is 022. What does samba use to set file permissions.
