[aklug] Ubuntu samba shares and OSX client

I think I've found some interesting information and hoping that =20
posting it will spur someone on with some more ideas.

After reading this post:

I tried using smbclient from the OSX client machine to create my directory.

Much to my surprise the directory was created the way I expected to be.

This implies that the finder is what is removing the writeable group bit.

What's wierd is, unless the finder is going back and purposely =20
re-setting the file permissions on the file, the logs say it should be =20
getting created like I'd expect.

I'm still working through this, but this seems like a promising avenue =20
to pursue.

I'm not keen on changing the umask for the finder app for a particular =20
user, because that means all directories created by that user will be =20
modifiable by the admin group...but I guess that wouldn't be too much =20
of a problem.

Anyone have some thoughts on this?
