samba - May 2000 - Samba digest 2532 / Problem with "force create mode" et. al.

Hi,

Frankly spoken you have a real RTFM problem.

The manual pages for smb.conf say that "create mask" and "create
mode" are
equal. It also says that there is only a "force XXXX mode" (where XXXX
is
either create or directory). So a replacement of mask with mode will do the 
thing.

The other mistake is that there is no "force create group" parameter.
The
correct name of this parameter is "force group". So another change to
your
smb.conf is needed.

Best regards,

Axel Neumann

Thanks, that really helps me out. :)

Hmm, this is a case of RT-correct-FM, then.  I was making the mistake
of viewing the O'Reilly "Using Samba" book on these parameters,
and
they clearly state that, like "create mask|mode", "force create
mask|mode" are equivalent, when they are not.

I also had some underlying FS ownerhip and permissions issues which
were complicating things a bit.  I think I'm over the hump, and want
to thank those of you who helped me get it right.
