file permissions

[axman505]

I have a folder shared that needs to be acessible over samba to serveral different windows uses all part of a group which has full control of the directory. My problem is, that if i save a new file to this folder in windows, it saves it with permissions 744. I need to change it so that whenever a file is created under this folder, it has permissions 774.

Is umask the command i want to be looking at? Or is there something else?

Thanks

I think it's called "create mask" in smb.conf. Set it under the "homes" section to 0774.

This is wha ti have in my smb.conf:

[java]
path = /backup/java
read only = No
create mask = 0774
directory mask = 0775
security mask = 0773
valid users = aaron,lemkepf


But this still produces the following permissions:
-rwxrw-r-- 1 aaron aaron 7 Mar 10 09:36 test.txt

But I want rwx for the user and the group, and just r for everyone else.
