Greetings, everyone.

I've got a strange little problem happening with file creation on one of my 
Samba servers here. It's 100% repeatable, but makes absolutely no sense to 
me. Here's the situation.

My Marketing department has a scanner attatched to a WinNT4 box that they 
do all of their image scanning through. They scan the image and save the 
file locally on the scanner machine. They then open the file on their own 
machines from the scanner box, make changes in Photoshop, and save the 
file. Here's the weird part. If they save the file directly to the Samba 
share, permissions are set to 006. However, if they save the file to their 
desktops first, *then* copy it to the Samba share, perms are set to 766, as 
shown below.

-rwxrw-rw-    1 tracy    Market     454264 Feb 18 15:44 svp5.tif
-------rw-    1 tracy    Market     971432 Feb 18 11:24 28034 copy.tif

The Samba machine is RH7.1, running Samba 2.0.10-2. In the smb.conf I have 
set 'create mode' and 'directory mode' to 776.

What am I missing here? The scanner machine is logged in as administrator, 
iirc. Should there be an "administrator" account on the marketing box?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Wayne
