Unhappy Access Rights using Samba


Question:

I've set up Samba on an old IBM machine (with Mandrake 10) in order to create a file depository. I have another machine (also Mandrake 10) which I then use to connect to the IBM machine. Whenever I create a folder on the IBM machine from my other machine, the rights to the folder is always rwxr-xr-w (on the IBM) which of course causes problems when I want to copy files into that folder.

The solution is to use chmod on the IBM machine and assign 777 privileges on the newly created folder after which I am able to copy the files from the other machine onto the IBM machine...

How can I set up the user account on the IBM machine to automatically assign 777 access or at least 757 access to newly created folders (created from another machine...)

couldnt you add "inherit permissions = yes" to your smb.conf file?
