Greetings,

I am having issues getting correct permissions set for files in a
common area on a web/file server.  I have webroot shared out via samba
and under there I have an auto-thumbnail generation script that
creates thumbnails in somefolder/.cache where somefolder is a newly
created folder.  Example:

autothumbs\
          mypics1\
                image.jpg
                .cache
                         image_thumb.jpg
          mypics2\
               .cache
...

What needs to happen is when a new folder is created under this
autothumb tree, the permissions need to be set correctly so that the
.cache folder can be automatically generated by the thumbnail process.
 I have the main folder listed as root:wheel 777 but when new folders
are created they have user:wheel 755 permissions and the thumbnail
script fails as it cannot write to the location.

Is there something I am missing to get this setup properly?  I know a
workaround is the manually change the permissions of the folder when
it is created, but since my wife will be wanting to add pictures, that
isn't an option for her (very non-techy).  The machine in question a
5.4-Stable box.

Any suggestions on what I need to do?

Thanks.
