samba - Apr 2009 - Unix Extensions and "force create mode"?

It seems that when the clients (and the server) use Unix extensions, the
"force create mode" (and maybe "force directory mode"?)
setting is
completely ignored.

I have a Samba 3.2.5 server that is accessed from Windows and Linux.

One share is configured as follows:


[foto]
        comment = Galleria fotografica
        path = /ud0/foto
        create mask = 0775
        read only = No
        directory mask = 0775
        force directory mode = 0775
        force create mode = 0664
        map system = Yes
        map hidden = Yes
        dos filemode = Yes

When a Windows client writes a file to this share, the file gets the
correct permissions (664). When a Linux client writes to this share, the
permissions are set from the client (in my case the default is 660). 

This is wrong because I need 664 on this share.

If I disable Unix Extensions on the server, the "force" settings are
enforced correctly.


Is this a bug or is it the intended behaviuor? Is there a way to force
permissions even when files are accessed from a Linux client that uses
Unix extensions?


Thanks

It's been fixed in latest cifs.ko code,
I think it may have made kernel 2.6.29

Simo.
