After struggling with my smb.conf for a while, I feel I am missing something fundamental about how 'create mask' and 'force create mode' work.
I have a dropbox-style share (which is working), which uses 'security = share', and I would like to specify certain permissions on files created in this share. In both of the below examples, files always get created with 744 permissions ('-rwxr--r--'). # example 1 [myshare] comment = my share path = /path/to/myshare public = yes read only = no writable = yes browseable = yes printable = no force create mode = 0777 create mask = 0777 # example 2 # identical to the above, except for the last two lines, which are instead: force create mode = 0000 create mask = 0000 Is there a piece of the puzzle I am missing here? I don't actually want the above permissions ultimately, of course, but hopefully they demonstrate that I am failing to get it to work at all. This is samba 3.5, running on FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE. I can provide more details of my smb.conf, if that will help. Sorry if this seems very basic, but my own research is not proving helpful yet.
