I have a Samba PDC set up with Windows 2000 clients. I also have a database running on the samba server. The database loads on boot as a service. I have several shares set up. One group setup with two users. The database holds information about the files on the server in the shares. The shares have group rights. I have also set the SGID on the Entire directory for that group. The umask of the users in the group are set to 0002 so any file created should have the rights of rw-rw-r but when writing to the database and adding the file to the network the file gets the rights of rw-r-r-this is a problem as the group needs write rights to change the file. I have tried adding the rights to the group in windows and it does not hold. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue?
