We have a group of users on Macs and Windows machines with access to a single SMB share on a NAS4Free box.
The windows machines are working fine but NO MATTER WHAT I DO, the Macs always create files with permissions 644 and directories as 755.
I want them to be crated with files permissions of 664 and directories with 775.
I've tried using auxiliary parameters of "directory mask = 0775" and "force directory mode = 0775" as well as "create mask = 0664" and "force create mode = 0664" but it makes no difference at all.
Mac clients range from OSX Snow Leopard to Mavericks.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Re: Mac OS X & SMB Permissions (tearing my hair out!)
OK, quick and dirty fix. Added "unix entensions = no" to auxiliary parameters in CIFS/SMB settings.
