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.

Regards,

Stephen Hilton
