Samba create mask and dir mask on RHEL 4.8
Hi Experts,

I'm using samba -3.6.1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 8) ,all seems ok. The issue im facing is as follows.

When ever a user creates a file via windows explorer the permissions assgined to the file are as follows

Code:
-rw-rwxr--+ 1 tom group2    0 Mar  9 10:02 testfile

drwxrwsr-x+ 2 bob group1 4096 Mar  9 10:38 testdir

Im ok with the directory permissions but would like the file permissions to be 644, following are my smb.conf ( create mask ) details


Code:
create mask = 0644
        force create mode = 0644
        security mask = 0664
        force security mode = 0664
        directory mask = 2775
        force directory mode = 2775
        directory security mask = 2775
        force directory security mode = 2775

Also I have Linux ACL's on the shares for as the requirement called for some complexity so that only a few users in a group have access to the share.Could you experts help me with suitable mask that i need to use in smb,conf and a little explanation would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

subscription-manager-gui(8)				       Subscription Manager				       subscription-manager-gui(8)

NAME

       subscription-manager-gui - Launches the UI client of the Subscription Manager.

SYNOPSIS

       subscription-manager-gui [--register]

DESCRIPTION

       subscription-manager-gui  opens	the  local client tool to manage subscriptions and installed products on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems.
       The same tasks that can be performed by invoking subscription-manager can be performed in the GUI, including  registering  systems  with  a
       subscription management service, applying and removing subscriptions, and viewing the subscription status of installed products.

       The Subscription Manager UI can also be opened by selecting the Red Hat Subscription Manager item from the Applications > System Tools menu
       in RHEL 5.x or the System > Administration menu in RHEL 6.x.

OPTIONS

       --register
	      If a system has not yet been registered, then the GUI registration page can be opened immediately, as the Subscription  Manager  GUI
	      comes up. This is only relevant for unregistered systems; if this is used after a system is registered, the option is ignored.

REFERENCES

       For  procedures	and  tasks that can be performed in the Subscription Manager UI, check the Gnome help files (by pressing <F1>) or refer to
       the RHEL Subscription  Management  Guide  at  <https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Subscription_Management/1.0/html/Sub-
       scription_Management_Guide/index.html>.
