Hi,<br />
did you consider using umask ?<br />
wmp<br />

... or let your Linux clients do smbmount ?<br />

I figured that I'd have to add a mask somewhere, the question should probably have been worded more like &quot;what configuration (file) do I add a mask to?&quot; <br />
<br />
And no, I prefer to use NFS for Linux clients.

To ~/.bashrc I added:<br />
&nbsp; umask 002<br />
to bring the default permissions from 666 to 664.

I have a file server that shares with Windows clients via SMB and Linux clients via NFS. When a Windows user creates a new file on the share it uses group/user permissions for new files that are set in the smb.conf file, when a Linux/NFS client creates a new file it is given a different set of permissions. Is there any way to set what group/user permissions are used for NFS in a similar way as is done with Samba?<br />
<br />
My NFS shares are exported using:<br />
<br />
/mnt/share 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_root_<wbr />squash,sub<wbr />tree_check<wbr />)<br />
<br />
All users and groups for Windows and Linux come from an Active Directory.

NFS file permissions for new files

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.
