Is there a setting in the smb.conf file so that if a user creates a directory or a file, the group permissions retain write permissions to the new directory or file? Currently when logged on to the linux server itself, if a user creates a directory the group permissions are set to RWX, but with a samba connection the permissions are set to R-X only. Thanks Marc

Look at the "force create mode" and "force directory mode" parameters. Regards, roel
