9 When a file is created, the necessary permissions are calculated according to the mapping from DOS modes to
10 UNIX permissions, and the resulting UNIX mode is then bit-wise 'AND'ed with this parameter. This parameter may
11 be thought of as a bit-wise MASK for the UNIX modes of a file. Any bit <emphasis>not</emphasis> set here will
12 be removed from the modes set on a file when it is created.
16 The default value of this parameter removes the <literal>group</literal> and <literal>other</literal>
17 write and execute bits from the UNIX modes.
21 Following this Samba will bit-wise 'OR' the UNIX mode created from this parameter with the value of the
22 <smbconfoption name="force create mode"/> parameter which is set to 000 by default.
26 This parameter does not affect directory masks. See the parameter <smbconfoption name="directory mask"/>
31 Note that this parameter does not apply to permissions set by Windows NT/2000 ACL editors. If the
32 administrator wishes to enforce a mask on access control lists also, they need to set the <smbconfoption
33 name="security mask"/>.
