***NOTE: I'm not sure what's going on - I tried three times to post
this message to linux.samba and it doesn't show up... no doubt there's
a doorkeeper that won't let me in without an invitation, but I haven't
found how to do it yet... so I thought I'd try here... if you can help
with either problem (the one below or posting to linuix.samba) I'd
surely appreciate it!





Server: Samba 2.2.7a on RH 9.0
Client1: W98
Client2: RH9.0

Both clients mount same share with same user logon.

Both clients copy the same file from /source directory to /target
directory,

Client1 names the new file "fromw98.dat" and Client2 names it
"fromrh9.dat".

fromw98.dat shows -rwxrw-rw-
fromrh9.dat shows -rw-r--r--

Users on WAN can open fromw98.dat for RW, but not fromrh9.dat ...

Obviously there's a permission screwup somewhere, but I haven't been
able to find it.

What's going on here?

No help. It's the SAME USER in both cases - unless samba is somehow
distinguishing between william logging in from Client1 and william
logging in from Client2...

>man chmod

No help. The files need to be created with the proper permissions, not
changed afterward.

Thanks, anyway.

For the share in question, both are set to 0777

"Both clients mount same share with same user logon."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Both clients copy the same file from /source directory to /target

The share in question has 0777 for both masks.

But client1 is windows, client 2 is RH, right?   The default umask
on redhat will remove write access for group and other.   This sure
looks like what is happening.

Aha! Could be - I'll check it out - I was looking strictly at the
server, it didn't occur to me that the client might be at fault!
Thanks!
