In your share directive, use this: directory mode = 0770 force group = user_term -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Miller Sent: Friday, February 16, 2007 2:03 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Set write permissions by default for group? I'm setting up a share through Samba and want one of the folders under the share to set the group and give write permissions to that group for any file/folder created. Is their a method to make files and folders inherit the permissions and group from it's parent directory? Right now all new files and folders are created with the correct group but do not get write permissions for that group. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list Confidentiality Notice: The information contained in this electronic message is intended for the exclusive use of the individual or entity named above and may contain privileged or confidential information.
