was it by using different shares on the server? Then you could have look in your /etc/samba/smb.conf. Inside the share sections you may (have) set a "create mask" : That is from smb.conf from one of my linux boxes running samba: .... [homes] comment = Home Directories writeable = Yes create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 [root] comment = root path = / writeable = Yes create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 ... (After changing you'll have to restart samba "/etc/init.d/samba restart".) You are also able to change settings by means of swat or webmin - if installed. Maybe you could also have a look in directory /usr/share/doc/samba(-doc, or -common) to get useful information nearby.
