for a description of what default permissions get set for files created by CIFS clients. In summary, if the parent dir has NTFS-style security, the ACL inherits using normal NTFS inheritance rules. If the parent dir has UNIX-style security, the 2000 bit (SGID) and other perms inherit from the parent directory. It sounds like that may be the behavior you are looking for.

Good luck,

Hi Dan,

Is there a way in a CIFs mounted share from the netapps to force newly created directories to have a specific set of permissions (ie mode 2775)?

We are currently using Unix-style trees. We may use some mixed-trees once we have a PDC.
