Are you using SWAT to admin your Samba server? If you are you, there is an option to set a create mask for each share, and there are many more options under the advanced view. If you are not using SWAT, I highly recommend looking into that or Webmin, for easy Samba administration. The other option is to use a UMASK. I believe you would need a umask of 007 to give rwxrwx--- permissions. ** I would still consider myself a novice Linux user, but most of my experience is with Samba. Hope this helped.

The problem is that when a user creates a file, the permissions are set such that the user has all rights, but the group has read-only. I want to give the group rwx by default, any idea how to do that?
