I created a Samba share on my Ubuntu virtual machine and mounted the share on my Windows 7 host using net use W: \\blog.localhost\blog. When editing or creating any file it sets the perms to -rwxr--r--, and it should be setting it to -rw-r--r--. I need it to not set the file to executable for the user. Below is my configuration for the share.

[blog]
comment = Development files for Wordpress Blog.
browseable = yes
writable = yes
path = /var/www/wordpress
create mask = 0644
force create mode = 0644
valid users = lpeabody
inherit permissions = yes
force user = lpeabody
force group = www-data

I fixed it by removing inherit permissions and restarting Samba.

Samba maps the windows system and archive bits to group and user execute. I believe this is done AFTER creation; so the create mask and create mode settings wouldn't help.

Look into the 'map archive', 'map system', and 'map hidden' settings.

  • Sorry I already figured it out... thanks though. I was honestly racking my brain for over an hour, but I guess I just needed to walk away for a while.

For other users with the same problem:

Ensure that you have masks set; if they're missing, they'll often default to include +x. Example:

[share]
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755

You'll also need to omit inherit permissions, or set it to no.
