I have a problem whereby I have set up a samba share with these parrameters:
[Design]
path = "/sec/projects/design"
writeable = yes
browsable = yes
valid users = @design
force group = design
force create mode = 0775
force directory mode = 770
When I copy a file from removable storage which has the permissions set as 644 as a user from the design group the file receives the permissions 644 rather than being set to 775.
