Description Marcel Holtmann 2007-08-17 20:05:51 UTC
CIFS apparently does not currently honor the umask for a task. There's an
upstream patch to make it do so:

commit 3ce53fc4c57603d99c330a6ee2fe96d94f2d350f
Author: Steve French <sfrench.com>

    [CIFS] CIFS should honour umask
    
    This patch makes CIFS honour a process' umask like other filesystems.
    Of course the server is still free to munge the permissions if it wants
    to; but the client will send the "right" permissions to begin with.
    
    A few caveats:
    
    1) It only applies to filesystems that have CAP_UNIX (aka support unix
    extensions)
    2) It applies the correct mode to the follow up CIFSSMBUnixSetPerms()
    after remote creation
    
    When mode to CIFS/NTFS ACL mapping is complete we can do the
    same thing for that case for servers which do not
    support the Unix Extensions.
