1 <samba:parameter name="inherit permissions"
4 xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
7 The permissions on new files and directories are normally governed by <smbconfoption name="create mask"/>,
8 <smbconfoption name="directory mask"/>, <smbconfoption name="force create mode"/> and <smbconfoption
9 name="force directory mode"/> but the boolean inherit permissions parameter overrides this.
12 <para>New directories inherit the mode of the parent directory,
13 including bits such as setgid.</para>
16 New files inherit their read/write bits from the parent directory. Their execute bits continue to be
17 determined by <smbconfoption name="map archive"/>, <smbconfoption name="map hidden"/> and <smbconfoption
18 name="map system"/> as usual.
21 <para>Note that the setuid bit is <emphasis>never</emphasis> set via
22 inheritance (the code explicitly prohibits this).</para>
24 <para>This can be particularly useful on large systems with
25 many users, perhaps several thousand, to allow a single [homes]
26 share to be used flexibly by each user.</para>
