Just a newbie file permissions issue, I come from a Netware and Windows
networking background.
I have created a folder under /usr for shared data, and set the permissions
to 777 and then shared it with SAMBA as guest access. This folder is going
to be for any publicly available data for my home network and I don't want
to mess around with authentication as my X-boxes, wifes' Windows PC etc
connect to it. I set my default UMask to 0002 and most files I create have the correct
permissions, but in KMail, if I save an attachment in this folder, it
defaults permissions to 700 so no one else can open or modify the file 8(
Where would I find the default mask for saving attachments, or better still,
how do I make sure all files and folders in this SharedData folder inherit
the parent permissions and aren't overridden unless I want them to be?
Try to smbmount that share somewhere and use that mount to store your kmail attachments, so you follow the same rules as your windows clients.
