Hi all, I have a permissions problem with a samba share which I really can't fathom out. I'm trying to create a fully group writable share. Easy or so I thought. As you can see from my config I am trying all the options to set files group writable, however when I create a file from the client I'm always getting the mode 0644. Does anyone have a clue why? Thanks!
client: //database.pricetrak.com/spendtrak /home/spendtrak cifs username=webserver,password=twonkerlet,uid=apache,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0
server: [spendtrak] comment = Spendtrak Files path = /home/spendtrak browseable = no writable = yes printable = no valid users = +spendtrak force group = spendtrak create mode = 0660 create mask = 0660 force create mode = 0660 directory mode = 0770

Here's how I used to achieve that type of scenario on CentOS 4:
[Staff] comment = Staff Share path = /shares/staff writeable = yes valid users = +staff force group = staff force create mode = 0660 force directory mode = 0770

I know - that's where I started - works fine for directories, but not for files. I can't fathom it out.

Did you use "force create mode" as opposed to "create mode" in your original message?
I wonder if it's a *nix file permission thing. Maybe you need to manually (re)set all file ownerships to spendtrak:spendtrak and take it from there.

I have this working with:
[example] path = /home/example writeable = yes browseable = yes create mask = 0775 force create mode = 0775 directory mask = 0775 force directory mode = 0775

---- indeed and 'force group' is pointless.
chmod g+s /home/spendtrak
gets it done, neatly, cleanly and the recommended method

Still getting 0644 on the files when the parent dir is 0770...... odd
It's wierd that the samba settings work fine for directories, but not the files.
