We are trying to migrate to samba from NT4 data servers, We don't currently allow users the execute permission on data drives, so I have setup data drives with a creat mask of 0660 which seems ok. The problem I'm having it that both powerpoint and PDF files seem to need the 'x' bit set before users can edit or open the files. Has anybody else had this problem? and if so could you please tell me what you did to resolve it. Thanks very much samba version 2.2.8a on susi linux v8 [global] netbios name = xxxSAM01 workgroup = xxxdom security = domain encrypt passwords = yes map to guest = bad user name resolve order = wins lmhosts host bcast dns proxy = no password server = xxxsrv11a xxxsrv17a preferred master = no domain master = no local master = no log level = 4 log file = /var/log/samba wins server = 172.19.1.1 winbind uid = 10000-50000 winbind gid = 10000-50000 winbind separator = + winbind cache time = 10 template homedir = /smb/homes/%U [homes] comment = Home directory for %U path = /smb/homes/%U read only = no browseable = no inherit permissions = no inherit acls = yes create mask = 0660 force user = %U # force create mode = 0660 directory mask = 0770 force directory mode =0770 Keith Allen
