I'm not sure about Mac OS X, but samba under Linux allows specifying options file_mode and dir_mode for the mount (on the client side), which should give you the behavior you want if the Mac OS X samba client allows them. Also, if both the client and server recognize CIFS (the successor to SMB), then you shouldn't have this problem at all. The Linux samba suite has used CIFS when possible for years. ...Marvin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
