hope i am correct here in this section.

smb configs come in many flavours.
and every config is uniqe, just like mine.

here a overview of mine

Code:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from UNKNOWN (192.168.0.238)
# Date: 2015/04/13 14:09:12

[global]
	workgroup = ADDICTS
	netbios name = filestuff
	server string = Samba Server %v
	interfaces = re0
	bind interfaces only = Yes
	security = SHARE
	guest account = root
	ntlm auth = No
	log file = /var/log/samba/smbd.%m
	max log size = 50
	socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
	dns proxy = No
	winbind nss info = 
	idmap config * : range = 
	idmap config * : backend = tdb

[usertuff]
	comment = public stuff
	path = /data/public
	force user = root
	read only = No
	guest ok = Yes
	writeable = yes
	valid users = root, nobody
	browseable = yes
	public = no
	force directory mode = 0744
	force create mode = 0644

the goal, to make shares that log in users with a name and password, yes i know i am burning my hands with this,but it should work.
machine is configed for use as router on the local computerclub ,and i want to give some people access to data.

now the isue.
i know 0744 should be RWX R R
and 644 should be RW R R

but for some stupid reason all file are also 0744 and not 0644
google didnt gave usefull help, so any one a idea what i am doing wrong.
above config is just a test setup.

The documentation may not be clear but the two directives that define permissions are create mask and force create mode. In a nutshell create mask takes permissions away and force create mode adds them. By default create mask is 744. If you add create mask=0644 to your share it should work as expected.

https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man...mb.conf.5.html

Now, you have public = no, guest ok = yes and valid users = nobody. Not sure how samba determines precedence but would guess it ends up being a public share which is not what you wanted. security = share is deprecated.

i know my setings are, unlogical, but i prefere login with username and password AFTER they entered the machine, bcouse of public stuff, and non public stuff.
i retry the settings....
