File permission changed after I modified share in the smb.conf

Hi,

A strange thing happened when I modified one of the file share name in the SAMBA configuration.

Before:

[aaa$]
path = /aaa/b
writeable = Yes
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
guest ok = Yes

Changed to:

[new$]
path = /aaa
writeable = Yes
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770
guest ok =yes

When I restarted SAMBA,

The file permission in /aaa/b became:

-rwxrw---- 1 smbnull smbnull 311806 Feb 22 14:15 file1


Any idea why this happened?

THanks in advance!


Jason

Re: File permission changed after I modified share in the smb.conf

Here are some smb.conf options to consider

create mask
directory mask
force create mode
force directory mode

These options will change/force permission changes in a manner you prescribe.
