Comment 5 for bug 146367

Sorry to revive an old bug, but I've recently run into this problem. Using the following in smb.conf, when I create a file as a remote user, the Owner's permissions are always set to executable on files (rwxrw-rw-), whereas they should be rw-rw-rw-.

[DnD Public]
path = "/mnt/PERSONAL/Dane/RPGs/DnD Public"
comment = Players can put stuff in here
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
force create mode = 0666
force directory mode = 0777

I've tried it with "force user = dane" in there (since that's my local login, which is set-up in samba's database), but keep getting the same result. Since this is a security problem, depending on the context, and since there's already a patch released upstream, at the link above, I was hoping this could get fixed in a security release sometime soon. (The patch was posted to that page in 2006--if this is, indeed, the same bug.)

I might end up patching and compiling Samba, myself, but I'd really rather not dump a pile of "make install" into my filesystem tree (and that wouldn't fix the bug in the repository, besides).

Thanks for reading.
