You can give the permission by chmod:

Quote:

chmod g+x <directory>

from linux side

Do you want to remove group permission or do you want to add write permission gor group?

It is also possible to specify samba default file creation permission using mask.

* create mask: This option is set using an octal value when setting permissions for files.
* directory mask: Directories must have the execute bit for proper access. Default parameter is 0755.

[documents]
path = /home/sita/documents
write list = sita rama
create mask = 0775
