Dear Readers: I'm using Samba 2.2.8a on a Solaris 9 machine. Samba has been compiled with ACL-Support and everything works fine, but there is one feature that I dont understand. A file that is created in a directory with default ACLs for the owner, group and others-permissions will inherit these permissions and the umask will be ignored. Example: cd /var/tmp mkdir dir setfacl -s u::rwx,g::rwx,o:---,d:u::rwx,d:g::rwx,d:o:rwx dir umask 022 touch dir/testfile ls -l dir/testfile Result: -rw-rw-rw- 1 root other 0 Aug 6 16:59 dir/testfile Samba will NOT ignore the create mask parameter in this situation. Is this a bug or a feature? Any suggestions on how to configure samba, so that files in some directories of a share will get 666-rights while others (in the same share ) will get 664?
