samba - Jun 2006 - Share authority query

Hi all,

I have a samba directory caller 'archive' which needs to create files
with
u=rw,g=,o= authorities which i believe is octal 0600.

My smb.conf contains ...

[global]

    # Max permissions for a share
    create mode = 0666
    directory mode = 0777


[archive]
    comment = Archive Directory
    # Permissions when creating files in this share
    create mode = 0600
    directory mode = 0700
    path = /export/samba/archive
    read only = no
    valid users = ....

So I was supprised when I got ...

dave@dave-comp:/mnt/samba/archive/dave-comp_backup$ touch test
dave@dave-comp:/mnt/samba/archive/dave-comp_backup$ ls -al
total 12
drwxrwx--- 1 dave dave 4096 2006-06-01 21:13 .
drwxrwx--- 1 dave dave 4096 2006-06-01 21:07 ..
drwxrwx--- 1 dave dave 4096 2006-06-01 21:05 
2006-06-01_21.04.10.326411.dave-comp.ful
-rw-rw---- 1 dave dave    0 2006-06-01 21:13 test
dave@dave-comp:/mnt/samba/archive/dave-comp_backup$

ie 0660 ? Can anyone tell me where i am going wrong ?

Cheers

Dave

That looks fine to me - try the 'security mask' option as well, it
could be that your local machine is using the UNIX extensions to set
extra attributes on files.  The 'security mask' option *may* stop this,
but disabling UNIX extensions will tell you for sure whether this is
the problem or not.

Thanks for that, I will look up 'security mask'. Its usefull to hear
that I
have setup smb.conf correctly - so the problem is deeper :)

Cheers

OK bury head in sand job !

Samba smb.conf is working fine. I was getting thrown by 

dave@dave-comp:/mnt/samba/archive/dave-comp_backup$ touch test
dave@dave-comp:/mnt/samba/archive/dave-comp_backup$ ls -al
total 12
drwxrwx--- 1 dave dave 4096 2006-06-01 21:13 .
drwxrwx--- 1 dave dave 4096 2006-06-01 21:07 ..
drwxrwx--- 1 dave dave 4096 2006-06-01 21:05 
2006-06-01_21.04.10.326411.dave-comp.ful
-rw-rw---- 1 dave dave    0 2006-06-01 21:13 test
dave@dave-comp:/mnt/samba/archive/dave-comp_backup$

where I expected -rw------ as defined in smb.conf. However when I actually 
accessed the file it was restricted as in smb.conf ie --rw------. the ls -al 
just shows how it was mounted.

Doh - Oh well wont forget that again in a hurry :)
