<samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
		<term><anchor id="FORCEDIRECTORYMODE"/>force directory mode (S)</term>
		<listitem><para>This parameter specifies a set of UNIX mode bit 
		permissions that will <emphasis>always</emphasis> be set on a directory 
		created by Samba. This is done by bitwise 'OR'ing these bits onto the 
		mode bits of a directory that is being created. The default for this 
		parameter is (in octal) 0000 which will not add any extra permission 
		bits to a created directory. This operation is done after the mode 
		mask in the parameter <parameter moreinfo="none">directory mask</parameter> is 
		applied.</para>

		<para>See also the parameter <link linkend="DIRECTORYMASK"><parameter moreinfo="none">
		directory mask</parameter></link> for details on masking mode bits 
		on created directories.</para>
		
		<para>See also the <link linkend="INHERITPERMISSIONS"><parameter moreinfo="none">
		inherit permissions</parameter></link> parameter.</para>

		<para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">force directory mode = 000</command></para>
		<para>Example: <command moreinfo="none">force directory mode = 0755</command></para>

		<para>would force all created directories to have read and execute
		permissions set for 'group' and 'other' as well as the
		read/write/execute bits set for the 'user'.</para>
