+
+ <para>When a file is created, the necessary permissions are
+ calculated according to the mapping from DOS modes to UNIX
+ permissions, and the resulting UNIX mode is then bit-wise 'AND'ed
+ with this parameter. This parameter may be thought of as a bit-wise
+ MASK for the UNIX modes of a file. Any bit <emphasis>not</emphasis>
+ set here will be removed from the modes set on a file when it is
+ created.</para>
+
+ <para>The default value of this parameter removes the
+ 'group' and 'other' write and execute bits from the UNIX modes.</para>
+
+ <para>Following this Samba will bit-wise 'OR' the UNIX mode created
+ from this parameter with the value of the <link linkend="FORCECREATEMODE"><parameter moreinfo="none">force create mode</parameter></link>
+ parameter which is set to 000 by default.</para>
+
+ <para>This parameter does not affect directory modes. See the
+ parameter <link linkend="DIRECTORYMODE"><parameter moreinfo="none">directory mode
+ </parameter></link> for details.</para>
+
+ <para>See also the <link linkend="FORCECREATEMODE"><parameter moreinfo="none">force
+ create mode</parameter></link> parameter for forcing particular mode
+ bits to be set on created files. See also the <link linkend="DIRECTORYMODE">

+ mode bits on created directories. See also the <link linkend="INHERITPERMISSIONS">
+ <parameter moreinfo="none">inherit permissions</parameter></link> parameter.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that this parameter does not apply to permissions
+ set by Windows NT/2000 ACL editors. If the administrator wishes to enforce
+ a mask on access control lists also, they need to set the <link linkend="SECURITYMASK"><parameter moreinfo="none">security mask</parameter></link>.</para>
