[KLUG Members] Samba "create mask" and "force create mode" ??

[Mike Morrett]

FYI: I'm running SuSE 9.0 Pro with Samba 2.2.8a-SuSE

I'm having difficulty understanding on how to have files on a Samba
share have a 774 file permission mode.

See the "/stuff" share in my smb.conf file.  That does what I want,
but I don't thing that is the "correct" way.  Maybe I need to do
chmod on the "/stuff" directory??

Thanks,
Mike

P.S.  I have printing turn off for now... I'll mess with it later.

P.S.S.  Please feel free to make any comments/suggestions about my
smb.conf file.
