Hi List, The Samba Howto Collection http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/AccessControls.html#id2611229 says: "When the set user or group ID bit (s) is set on a directory, then all files created within it will be owned by the user and/or group whose `set user or group' bit is set. " while i cannot repoduce this behavior the wikipedia says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid#setuid_and_setgid_on_directories "The setuid permission set on a directory is ignored on UNIX and Linux systems " either there is an error in the howto, or maybe its just time for me to start the weekend ;-) regards Werner -- GMX DSL Doppel-Flat ab 19,99 Euro/mtl.!

The setgid bit certainly works for Samba group directories; we've never tried setuid. I guess it may have worked in the past, but doesn't any more. Try it from the command line: if it doesn't work there, it won't from Samba. Moray. ?To err is human; to purr, feline.?
This is working with samba sernet newest release:
This is setting the bit for the group even with msoffice-files correctly
directory mask=2770
force directory mode=2770
create mask = 2770
force create mode=2770
force security mode=2770
force directory security mode=2770
