Samba File Permission error

[Overkill]

I have been having this problem, My samba permission is as follow however,

[global]
netbios name = Web-cont
security = user
map to guest = Bad User
strict locking = no

[website]
writeable = yes
path = /var/www/html
force create mode = 777
force user = nobody
create mode = 777
guest only = yes
public = yes
directory mode = 000

when a file is added it get the file permission of rwxrwx-wx

Can anyone tell me why... when i change to 775 i get rwxrwx--x.... WHY???

-rwxr-x--- Means:
^^^ The owner (user) can read, write, execute
...^^^ the group can read and execute
......^^^ everyone else cannot do anything with it.

In your config it seems the owner and group have read, write, and executable rights but everyone else has execute. i.e. rwxrwx--x....I'm assuming that 777 gives rwxrwxrwx. Might wanna comment out guest only and/or force user and see what happens to the permissions. Will update yu on any new findings.

775 is different from 777 by the way...I think 777 is most permissive.

typing man smb.conf at the command line is also a good solution. You will have to do some reading though.

I know....

the problem.. is.. no matter what permission is set 777 or 775.... the system only gives me a 771.... THat is my problem... (i am assuming that since my share goes across a NFS... why .. i keep getting this....) WHat i currently do, is to chmod to 775 or 777 on the file after uploading it ... to get the permission.... No matter how i try to have samba force.. the 775 or a 777.... it just gives a 771

That permission might be filtering down from the parent. Check that and see
