<samba:parameter name="create maske"

<listitem>
    <para>A synonym for this parameter is 
    <link linkend="CREATEMODE"><parameter moreinfo="none">create mode</parameter>
    </link>.</para>

    <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">
    <parameter moreinfo="none">directory mode</parameter></link> parameter for masking 
    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>

    <para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">create mask = 0744</command></para>

    <para>Example: <command moreinfo="none">create mask = 0775</command></para>
