After searching the archive I am no closer to achieving what I want. I've seen lots of posts that suggest this can be achieved but the methods used don't work for me. I won't pretend I understand linux or samba permissions because every time I think I've got it, I turn out to be wrong. So here goes.
Let's say I have 3 users & 2 groups.
each group has it's own directory.
user1 is a member of grpA & grpB (needs rwx access to grpA & grpB directory & all files).
user2 is a member of grpA (needs rwx access to only grpA directory & all files.
user3 is a member of grpB(needs rwx access to only grpB directory & all files.
When a user creates a file I want the file to have -rwxrwx--- (0770) and the group to ?own? that file so others in the group can edit it. No matter what I try any files created belong to the user with -rwxrw---- (0760).
Do I need to change umask? How should the groups share be configured in smb.conf? Are there any other changes in smb.conf required?
Thank you in anticipation, Lindsay
