I am trying to mount a samba share rwx to the owner and group but no matter what I try with the smb.conf file it always mounts 0755 and not 0775.

*************** output of df command ******************
[root@server]# df -h /opt/builds
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
//using-vss01.xxx.net/ATGBuilds
8.5G 7.8G 682M 93% /opt/builds

*************** output of ls command ******************
[root@server]# ls -ld /opt/builds
drwxr-xr-x 1 atgdev atg 4096 Aug 9 23:42/opt/builds

*********** entry in /etc/fstab *********************
//using-vss01.xxx.net/ATGBuilds /opt/builds smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/.smbpa
sswd,uid=atgdev,gid=atg 0 0


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kurt

I finally figured this out myself. I had to add fmask = 0775 and dmask = 0775 to the mount command it the /etc/fstab.

Thanks to anyone who took a look at this for me.

Try adding "dmask=0000" to the mount options (just guessing, after reading man smbmount).
