I just created a new user named "newgroup", unix group "newgroup"
using Samba 2.2.1a from ports, and added a new Samba share with
these parameters:
[packages]
path = /var/packages
read only = No
guest ok = No
create mask = 700
directory mask = 700
force user = newgroup
force group = newgroup
Created several sub dirs and test files, all wound up correctly
owned and correct permissions.
bsdbox1# pwd
/var/packages/NewFolder/NewFolder2
bsdbox1# ls -la
total 3
drwx------ 2 newgroup newgroup 512 Nov 29 22:58 .
drwx------ 3 newgroup newgroup 512 Nov 29 22:58 ..
-rwx------ 1 newgroup newgroup 58 Nov 29 22:58 New Wave Sound.wav
All seems ok here Christopher.
