[Samba] Question regarding permission bits for a share
Hi, Relatively Samba newbie here. I have a laptop which has to be remain set to a Windows NT Domain instead of a workgroup. I found that even from this laptop I can still map a network drive to my Samba server. However, when I drag and drop files the permission bits for group are not set the way I want them to be; there remains no permissions for the group. Now I would like the the group to have read/write permissions set automatically. Another computer I have on my network is set to the Samba workgroup and dragging/dropping from this computer sets the permissions for group properly. The only problem I have is setting permissions for group properly when I drag and drop from a laptop set to a Windows NT Domain. Here is my share definition... [ABCDEFGHIJK] comment = ABCDEFGHIJK path = /path/to/the/directory guest account = ours read only = no create mask = 0760 guest ok = yes browseable = yes writable = yes directory mask = 0770 volume = ABCDEFGHIJK force create mode = 775 force directory mode = 775 Any suggestions for me to get this working the way I want? Again, what I want is to get the group bits set to read/write when I drag&drop files from a laptop set to a Windows NT Domain and not a workgroup. Thanks!
