OS X - SMB/CIFS Share Permissions
Modifying the SMB Share Permissions for public
folders.
This problem arose with multiple people modifying
the same Word document when connected to OS X from Windows via SMB. Any time a
Word document was modified the access level would change to 644 as opposed to
the 770 it was programmed to have.
I modified the /private/etc/smb.conf file to have a create mask of 0770 for the Public share.
MS Word saves documents differently than any other application which is why this problem came up. Word creates a temporary file which is modified by the user. When the document is saved, the original document is removed and a new document is created on the server with the same name. To the server a saved Word document is a new file.
