Samba question?

Running RH 7.2 kernel 2.4.7-10

Is it possible to configure samba so that when a user copies files to a "share" the default user is root, the default group is users and the default permissions is 755? Currently when a user copies files over only he/she can access the files. Thanks in advance for your input.

Rob

Put this in the share part of youe smb.conf file.

force group = users
force user =root
create mask = 0755

Here is the link that explains it.
