Samba Read-Only Setting


I have Red Hat 7.1 Running samba. I have about 3 other workstations that connect to samba. My problem is kinda a knitpicky one but as follows... Every file I copy to samba from a
win9X system it sets a read-only attribute to the file. I have write access cause I can copy new files plus delete (just have the read only confirmation box). I didn't know enough to tackle this one. Is the problem in the samba.conf, or is it ownership of the shared directory on samba? I didn't know if anyone knew a quick answer. Any help would be wonderful. Thanks again

Jamie

i don't wuite know where along the line that wuold kick in really, you can set a line such as "create mask = 000" should help if it's samba screwign with it, if it's just the vfat itself, check the umask attribute in /etc/fstab, assuming you mount it automatically.
