Write perms in Samba

[paleogryph]

Samba 2.2.5 on RH9. Only users in "cad" group can write, however when anyone in that group creates a file or dir, its 755, so that user owns it. So only they can write to it again, not anyone else in their group.

Is there a way for them to automatically create their files/dirs as 775, so that anyone in their group can write to that file/dir also? Is this something in smb.conf that can be changed like "inherit permissions"?

Thanks in advanced.

In smb.conf you can set the "directory mask = 775" for a given share

Ok, here is what worked:

directory mask = 775
create mask = 775
force group = cad

This sets it so that only those in the cad group can create/write in this share, and forces the files/dirs to be 775. I guess it helps to read the smb.conf man page...
