Samba and directory umask

[Coolmar]

Hi,

When "folders" are created on our unix system from windows via Samba...they are supposed to be created with rwxrwxr-x . I have setup the create mask and when a file is created it is fine...just directories are not being created properly. Any ideas:

smb.conf (share info)

[PROJ]
comment = Technical Service Cadd Files
path = /cadd
public = Yes
read only = Yes
force group = dft
write list = cadd
create mask = 0775
force create mode = 0775
security mask = 0775

[John Kittel · Accepted solution]

see the parameters: force directory mode and directory mask.

directory mask = 0775

Another thing that you should consider is the creator owner and the group owner.

And SGID for directories (chmod)
