Ahaw! Sufficient digging has returned THE solution.
THE solution entails knowing what the hell you're trying to do (RTFM
FTW).
try this: "man smb.conf"
I just threw the following in my smb.conf to get totally uselessly open
perms on files created by users:
[global]
<stuff>
[share1]
<other stuff no one cares about>
force create mode = 777
force directory mode = 777
force directory security mode = 777
Key info from the smb.conf man page:
....
create mode
This parameter is a synonym for create mask.
create mask (S)
When a file is created, the necessary permissions are calculated
according to the
mapping from DOS modes to UNIX permissions, and the resulting UNIX
mode is then bit-
wise ’AND’ed with this parameter. This parameter may be thought of as
a bit-wise MASK
for the UNIX modes of a file. Any bit not set here will be removed
from the modes set
on a file when it is created.
The default value of this parameter removes the group and other
write and execute
bits from the UNIX modes.
Following this Samba will bit-wise ’OR’ the UNIX mode created
from this parameter
with the value of the force create mode parameter which is set to 000
by default.
This parameter does not affect directory masks. See the parameter
directory mask for
details.
Note that this parameter does not apply to permissions set by
Windows NT/2000 ACL
editors. If the administrator wishes to enforce a mask on access
control lists also,
they need to set the security mask.
Default: create mask = 0744
Example: create mask = 0775
......
directory mode
This parameter is a synonym for directory mask.
directory mask (S)
This parameter is the octal modes which are used when converting
DOS modes to UNIX
modes when creating UNIX directories.
When a directory is created, the necessary permissions are
calculated according to
the mapping from DOS modes to UNIX permissions, and the resulting
UNIX mode is then
bit-wise ’AND’ed with this parameter. This parameter may be thought
of as a bit-wise
MASK for the UNIX modes of a directory. Any bit not set here will be
removed from the
modes set on a directory when it is created.
The default value of this parameter removes the ’group’ and ’other’
write bits from
the UNIX mode, allowing only the user who owns the directory to
modify it.
Following this Samba will bit-wise ’OR’ the UNIX mode created
from this parameter
with the value of the force directory mode parameter. This parameter
is set to 000 by
default (i.e. no extra mode bits are added).
Note that this parameter does not apply to permissions set by
Windows NT/2000 ACL
editors. If the administrator wishes to enforce a mask on access
control lists also,
they need to set the directory security mask.
Default: directory mask = 0755
Example: directory mask = 0775
