-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, samba Version 3.5.4-5.1.2-2426-SUSE-SL11.3 We have recently transferred our file services from one host to another. The old host was an OS/2 server. OS/2 is basically a single user OS; the file (and directory) permissions were mostly irrelevant. The new server is linux OS, opensuse 11.3 distribution. It, of course, has more to say about file permissions. The problem I am seeing is that Windows XP clients that have mounted a share on the new server save files with permissions 0755. This is rather odd; I would have thought 0644. (A PDF with an executable mode is not very useful.) Nevertheless, because the group permission is read-only, other users cannot access the files. 0755 looks like a typical directory permission. I would prefer to have the default file permission be 0664. Is there a setting in the server's samba configuration to define the default file permissions? We have a iMac running OSX 10.6. - -- James Moe moe dot james at sohnen-moe dot com 520.743.3936 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk1CbHwACgkQzTcr8Prq0ZOhsgCfZSZ9vfMpIDleYQw6akrF1J/C raAAni/fVK3HsYUtZ7PTqt+yQL3ZiVd+ =Uc1v -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
